Nyassachromis nigritaeniatus can mainly be found in the southern part of the lake however they probably can be found on more locations spread around the lake. This species is living in shallow water above the sandbottoms along beaches where they mainly stay in the open water. These examples were caught in the neighbourhood of Chiofu Bay. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 21 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 23 cm, females grow to about 16 cm. Nyassachromis nigritaeniatus 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. 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.
