Remarks: Pundamilia nyererei is a species of Haplochromine from Lake Victoria and the surrounding waters. Males have a red upper half and yellow-green lower half, covered with black bars throughout. Females are mostly gray with some yellow in the fins. It is best to keep Pundamilia nyererei males with other male cichlids (Peacocks, Haplochromines, or mbuna), or in a harem setup with several females. Caves should be provided for fish to seek refuge in when threatened by dominant males. Females will hold mouthbrood spawns of 10-50 eggs.
