Rhamphochromis types can be found in entire Lake Malawi. Several kinds of this species are living together in open water close to the coast to a few hundred meters from this coast. This variant is an unidentified species which we found in a specialised shop which, at this time, is called Rhamphochromis sp. In the lake the males of Rhamphochromis types can grow from 24 cm to about 40 cm, depending on the different species. It`s best to keep Rhamphochromis types in a specially for them prepared tank with a lot of swimming space and together with other large species which are also living in open water areas. In the lake they are feeding themselves with "usipa" (Engraulicypris sardella), a species which looks like a pilchard. In the aquarium we also have to feed them with such kind of yuong fish.
