Buccochromis nototaenia are known for their active nature and striking appearance. They are predatory and can be territorial, particularly during breeding. Providing plenty of swimming space and rock formations for hiding will mimic their natural environment. They are best kept in species-specific tanks or with other large and robust Malawi cichlids.
