Above: In this picture a young premium quality mature Male Tanganyika Enantiopus Kilesa.
Origin: The ancestors of this Enantiopus Kilesa lived in Lake Tanganyika. But now they live in aquariums all over the world.
Maximum Size: In aquariums, males are able to grow to be about 6" long, including their tails, and females to about 4" long, which is a nice size for aquariums of 80-gallons and greater.
Behaviors: Male Enantiopus Kilesa usually quarrel among themselves but are usually not too aggressive.
Compatibility: Some recommended tank mates include other smallish species from Lake Tanganyika and smallish Synodontis Catfish, but not Tropheus, which are too aggressive.

This species also likes some rocks, but usually lives away from the rocks over the fine gravel.
Enantiopus Kilesa do not have live plants.
