FBname: Red breast cichlid
Remark: Reviewed by Bussing (1998: 329), with key, diagnosis, geographical distribution, and figures.
Comments: In addition to soft bottoms of the lake, inhabits rivers between 0 and 850 m.  Abounds more in stagnant waters although also found in strong current.  Browse on soft bottoms picking up aquatic insects, especially diptera (Ref. 36880).
