Stigmatochromis melanchros (formerly known as Stigmatochromis sp."tolae") is living in the sandy environments of the intermediate zones from rocks to sand and it can be found near the Mbenji Islands, Chimwalani Reef and in the southern part of the lake. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Kanchedza Island. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, females grow to about 17 cm. Stigmatochromis melanchros is a real predator. Young fish belong to his favourite meal. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank. We are dealing here with a species which likes eating fish, so we'll regularly have to offer him such kind of food like living small fish, mysis, krill,artemia, shrimpmix and they eat a lot of young fish when we keep them with mbunas.
