Chindongo sp."elongatus spot" Ungi


Chindongo sp."elongatus spot" (formerly known as Pseudotropheus sp."elongatus spot") is found in a rocky environment between Cobue and Liuli. This variant can be found near Ungi.


In the lake the males of these species can grow to 8 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 9 cm, females grow to about 7 cm.


Chindongo sp."elongatus spot" can behave intolerant against all inhabitants in the aquarium. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places.


In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with algae from the rocks and invertebrates. In the aquarium they are comfortable with any food. They take everything they get offered, like spirulina pellets, mysis, artemia, cyclops and shrimp-peas mix. Food rich of algae like spirulina pellets or flakes is very important to them so this should not be missing on their menu.
