Stigmatochromis sp."spilostichus type" is living in sandy environments and also in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand and it can be found around Likoma Island, along the coast of Mozambique and in the southeastern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, females grow to about 15 cm. Stigmatochromis sp."spilostichus type" 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. |
