Mylochromis mola is living in sandy environments, also above the sandbottoms in the intermediate zones from rocks to sand. They can be found in entire Lake Malawi. These examples were found in the neighbourhood of Nametumbwe, between Ntekete and Fort Maguire, in the southeastern part of the lake. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 17 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 19 cm, females grow to about 15 cm. Mylochromis mola is mainly living on snails, which are living in the sand. 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. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other big species in a large tank with a lot of swimming space.
