D. kiwinge group together and scavenge in a frenzied manner as
they ''raid'' through habitats, gobbling up anything edible. D.
kiwinge is a lek-breeding species. Males construct raised crater
bowls and compete simultaneously for ripe females' attention.
Fry are released into the open water column where they can feed
on plankton. Pronunciation: Refer to our Pronunciation Key for
an explanation of the phonetic symbols. Habitat: This is the
primary location where the cichlid is found and is a
generalization. This does not mean a fish cannot be found in
other habitats. Diet: Many cichlids specialize in eating one
type of food; notwithstanding, some of these specialized feeders
are flexible and can be opportunistic feeders. Temperament: This
describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other
tankmates that are of a different species. Consider that there
is variability in temperament due to various factors, including
aquarium size, tankmates of similar appearance, stocking levels,
and order of introduction. T
