Hemitaeniochromis urotaenia can be found in entire Lake Malawi. They are mainly living above the sand near the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Mlowe in the nortwestern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to about 25 cm, females stay smaller, they grow to about 18 cm. Hemitaeniochromis urotaenia is a predator which likes eating small cichlids. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank. We are dealing here with a species which likes eating fish, so we'll regularly have to offer him such kind of food like living small fish, mysis, krill, artemia, shrimpmix and they eat a lot of young fish when we keep them with mbuna.
