Comments: Seems to prefer the more open regions of the lake; vagabonding, fast-swimming species; ovophilic, maternal mouthbrooder (Ref. 52307). Predatory; reported to kleptoparasitize the freshwater crab <i>Potamon africanus</i> (Ref. 81260). Prefers small fish, shrimp and insect larvae (Ref. 52307). Aquarium conditions:  pH=9, H=25, 30°C water temperature, omnivore, egg layer, needs rocky cover and substratum, not easy to raise in tanks (Ref. 6398).
