Copadichromis jacksoni is living in open water. They can be found in entire Lake Malawi, many times along steep rocky coasts but also in shuttered bays where the water is still very deep. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Makokola Reef, in the southern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 21 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow taller because of a good feeding. The females stay smaller, about 12 cm. Copadichromis jacksoni is mainly living in open water where it`s feeding itself with plankton. You can best keep this species with multiple females in a large tank with a lot of swimming space and hiding places. 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.
