Ecology Summary - Melanochromis kaskazini

Língua:

Ref. principal	Konings-Dudin, G, A.F. Konings and J.R. Stauffer Jr., 2009
Notas	Melanochromis kaskazini wanders through the intermediate habitat hunting larger invertebrates and small fishes. At most localities, generally solitary individuals are encountered, but at Makonde and Manda small foraging groups are frequently seen, in particular when SCUBA divers stir debris to which the predators are attracted. Most foraging groups consist of several males in varying degree of sexual maturity with usually a single large male in full blue color. Territorial or courting males have not been observed. Melanochromis kaskazini is most often seen at depths varying between 5–40 m.
