Rather common in habitats where rocks border larger stretches of sand, normally in water with a depth of less than 10 metres (Ref. 46829). In captivity, this species is an aggressive cichlid which can be only kept with larger or very active tank mates (Ref. 7343). Feeds on invertebrates like crustaceans, small mollusks, worms and insect larvae (Ref. 7343, 46829).
