As sandsifters, all species eat sand-dwelling invertebrates. Unlike many other sandsifters, Callochromis species are somewhat aggressive, especially when breeding. C. pleurospilus has become popular with fishkeeping hobbyists because of their compact size, iridescent colors, and hardiness. CharacteristicsThe fishes in the genus Callochromis have a more or less elongated body which is approximately three times as long as it is high. They have a curved or humped back and a flat underside with a small terminal or sub-terminal mouth with a protruding lower jaw, the jaws are equipped with 3-5 rows of conical teeth. The dorsal fin has 12-16 spines and 10-14 rays, the anal fin has 3 spines and 6-9 rays. The outer ray of the ventral fins is the most elongated and the caudal fin has pointed lobes. They have two lateral lines. The grow to a tital length of {{convert|10-16|cm|in}}.[1] SpeciesThere are currently three recognized species in this genus:[1]
A fourth species, Callochromis stappersi, which has been regrded as a junior synonym of C. pleurospilus may be a valid species.[2] References1. ^{{FishBase genus | genus = Callochromis| month = February | year = 2013}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2750161}}{{Cichlidae-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web | url = https://www.cichlidae.com/section.php?id=92 | title = Tribe Ectodini Synopsis of Callochromis Regan, 1920 | accessdate= 25 November 2018 | publisher = The Cichlid Room Companion | author = Thomas Andersen | year = 2005}} 3 : Ectodini|Cichlid genera|Taxa named by Charles Tate Regan |
