Comments: Pairs breed exclusively in the shallow inshore region above 2 m; pairs excavate large nest-pits under large branches or logs (Ref. 85854). Non-breeding <i>Coptodon ejagham</i> are moving solitarily and are and appear to permanently scan their environment for prey while swimming permanently without a hast, and rarely being motionless (Ref. 85854). Observations suggest that this species are predators of small fish, mostly juvenile cichlids (Ref. 85854).
