Tyrannochromis macrostoma, commonly known as the Large-mouth Tyrant, is a predatory fish that requires a spacious aquarium due to its large size and active nature. It is known for its striking appearance and territorial behavior, often dominating the aquarium space. This species is best kept with other robust, similarly-sized Malawi cichlids to prevent aggression-related injuries.
