Pseudotropheus galanos can be found near the Mbenji Islands and Namalenje Island. They are living there in the shallow parts of the rocky environment, mainly in the breakers zone. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 10 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 12 cm, females grow to about 10 cm. Pseudotropheus galanos can behave reasonable intolerant against equal species, against other inhabitants they are in general tolerant. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with plankton and sometimes with algae which they tear from the rocks. In the aquarium they are comfortable with any food. They take everything they get offered, like spirulina pellets, mysis, artemia, cyclops and shrimp-peas mix.
