Comments: This shy species is observed at depths varying from 2 to 40 m in a dark rocky biotope, and encountered in pairs defending a territory over a dark cave difficult to access; the territory was often located to a large rock or boulder, which, if large enough was inhabited also by other species like <i>Neolamprologus furcifer</i> and <i>Julidochromis regani</i>; almost always found upside down in cave with belly close to substrate (Ref. 95525).
