(Haplochromis sp. "matumbi hunter")
The "Matumbi Hunter" is a very interesting species from Lake Victoria. They should be kept in groups of at least 6 specimens. They can often
be seen swimming together in "packs" stalking other fish, trying to find out if females of other species are holding. If that is the case,
they will continue the stalking until the female opens her mouth and spit the larvae, which then the "Matumbi Hunters" will prey on.
Lipochromis sp. "Matumbi Hunter" have a high metabolism and should be fed lots of food or they will quickly become very thin. They will not eat fry of their own kind.
