Pundamilia

Pundamilia nyererei is a maternally mouthbrooding cichlid endemic to Lake Victoria, recorded only from the southern part of the lake in Tanzania. It is mostly restricted to rocky, littoral habitats around islands. At least 11 populations are known and male colour varies with locality, so fish are labelled with collection details to avoid hybridisation in aquaria. Males are aggressive and can kill other males if the tank lacks cover.
