In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, females grow to about 16 cm. Stigmatochromis sp."pleurospilus mdoka" 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. |
