Auditor and A. sp. “Chitande Type Kande” breed mainly at a time when other species of Aulonocara decrease their breeding activities. These two species might be unsuccessful in obtaining a territory when the other species are still at the peak of their breeding season. References TREWAVAS , E. (1935) A synopsis of the cichlid fishes of Lake Nyasa. Ann. & Mag. N. Hist. Ser. 10. Vol XVI. Aulonocara sp. “Chitande Type Kande”. 35 The genus Tyrannochromis Eccles & Trewavas, 1989 Dr. Ethelwynn Trewavas A beautiful male Tyrannochromis macrostoma in breeding coloration.

In December, when I made the observations, there was sometimes one male individual in the group that showed some of its breeding coloration. Territorial males have not been seen. Members of the genus Otopharynx usually spawn near rocks. It is therefore possible that O. decorus also spawns close to a rocky coast and that the males which I was able to observe were foraging and not breeding. The feeding behavior of O. decorus is rather characteristic of an insectivorous cichlid. With its large eyes it carefully screens the sand.

Virginalis Chitande” Ad Konings A male Copadichromis sp. “Virginalis Chitande” in full breeding coloration. At a depth of 30 meters the red color appears as a black band in the dorsal of the “Fire-Crest” and females may distinguish the two species by the pattern in this fin. Theoretically females of both species may live in mixed schools but this was not observed. Males of C. sp. “Virginalis Gome” were found to build their nests in a gently sloping area of the coast whereas C. virginalis males constructed similar nests in the steeper part of the coast and at significantly deeper levels.
