Rhamphochromis ferox can be found in entire Lake Malawi and is living there together with other Rhamphochromis types in open water close to the coast to a few hundred meters from this coast. In the lake the males of these species can grow to 45 cm, females stay a little smaller. It`s best to keep Rhamphochromis types in a specially for them prepared tank with a lot of swimming space and together with other large species which are also living in open water areas. In the lake they are feeding themselves with "usipa" (Engraulicypris sardella), a species which looks like a pilchard. In the aquarium we also have to feed them with such kind of young fish.
