Lichnochromis acuticeps


Lichnochromis acuticeps is a species which mainly can be found in reasonable shallow water in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand in the entire lake.


In the lake the males of these species can grow to 20 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow much taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 25 cm, females grow to about 20 cm.


Lichnochromis acuticeps is a predator which likes eating young mbuna and small insects. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank with a lot of swimming space.


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.
