Comments:
Individuals from Cobue & Mbweca lack the submarginal black band on the dorsal fin. Those from Mara Point & Tumbi Point do have the submarginal black band. It is weakly territorial in the aquarium. It is one of the easier mbuna species to keep for a beginner. In the wild, it picks its food from short algae strands attached to the rocks in the intermediate habitat. Females and males are identical with the exception of some females who may sometimes lack egg spots.
