Stigmatochromis woodi is living in sandy environments and also in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand and it can be found in entire Lake Malawi. There are no colorvariants of this species however according to Eccles and Trewavas (1989) the examples from the southern part of the lake have a slightly smaller mouth than their northern counterparts. This male example was caught somewhere on the Tanzanian coast, the exact location however is unknown. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 27 cm, females grow to about 20 cm. Stigmatochromis woodi 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.
