Pseudotropheus sp."williamsi north" is living in the shallow regions of the rocky environments, most times in the neighbourhood of big rocks. They can be found near Makonde and Manda, on the northeastern coast of the lake but also near Nkhata Bay on the western coast of the lake. This variant is from Makonde. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 16 cm, in the aquarium however they can grow a little taller because of a good feeding. The males can then grow to about 18 cm, females grow to about 14 cm. Pseudotropheus sp."williamsi north" can behave intolerant against equal species, against other inhabitants they are in general tolerant. You can best keep this species with multiple females and other mbunas in an aquarium with a lot of hiding places. In the lake they are mainly feeding themselves with plankton, algae which they find on the rocks and invertebrates which they find on the rocks and in the water. 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. Food rich of algae like spirulina pellets or flakes is very important to them so this should not be missing on their menu.
