Nanochromis transvestitus

Females are more colorful than males, with a distinctly reddish belly. Males may have slightly elongated dorsal- and anal-fin tips.

Natural habitat: Native to Lake Mai Ndombe in the middle Congo basin, Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Has specific soft, acidic water requirements. Small size does not make it an ordinary small community fish.

Social behaviour and territory

Pairs are preferable. Intense fighting may occur within the species; multiple pairs require a very large space and separated territories.

Mainly suitably sized live and frozen foods, with dry food added when accepted.
