One of the most iconic and recognizable Rift Lake Cichlids, the Frontosa is a striking, large growing species originating from the waters of Lake Tanganyika. In the wild, the Frontosa is found in rocky shoreline areas in deeper waters, usually in large aggregations. A predatory fish by nature, their diet in the wild is largely composed of smaller fish and crustaceans. In the aquarium, Frontosas will display their best coloration and behavior when kept in similar conditions to where they would be found in the wild – kept in groups, fed a varied protein-rich diet, and in very alkaline water.

Their diet in the wild is largely composed of smaller fish and crustaceans.

The largest growing of all African cichlids, the Emperor or Giant Cichlid is native to Lake Tanganyika, where it is typically found in deeper waters up to 200 feet deep. In the wild, juvenile fish are omnivorous like most rift lake cichlids but as they grow they become more predatory. In the aquarium, they are relatively hardy and easy to care for but given their enormous adult size are suitable only for the largest aquariums or indoor ponds. Larger fish are territorial and aggressive like most rift lake cichlids, and if a pair forms they will defend an extremely large territory against any tankmates.
