An aggressive, territorial species best kept in a species tank. However in large tanks it can be maintained successfully with other small to medium-sized Tanganyikan cichlids that occupy different areas of the tank such as Cyprichromis species. Other rockdwellers such as Julidochromis or Altolamprologus are possibilities if the tank is large enough and sufficient territories are provided. It should not be kept with mbuna or other boisterous species. It is very aggressive towards conspecifics and only a single pair should be kept unless the tank is very large as this species forms monogamous pair bonds.
