Remarks: This fish is best maintained as a single pair, but can be maintained in groups if in large enough aquaria. It's not particularly territorial and can make a good addition to a community of Tanganyikan species, but shouldn’t be kept alongside anything small enough to be considered food. It is not recommended as a companion for Tropheus or any others species requiring a low protein diet.
