Myślę, że wiele osób powinno jednak poczytać artykuły o cyfotilapiach w Tanganika Magazyn, a także poczytać oryginalne opracowania naukowe typu:

Feeding behaviour and gut fullness
C. frontosa took food on the sandy or rocky bottom
or in midwater i to 5 m above the bottom at a depth
of more than 13 m. On the bottom, they scooped up
algae and deposits from the surface while moving
forward a few centimetres, or picked up prey from
the surface. In midwater, they picked or inhaled
suspended particles. Brooding females fed in mid-
water, usually in a loose school composed of sever-
al brooding and nonbrooding conspecifics. Only
once was a brooding female observed to take food
from the bottom.
Gut contents of adults consisted of detritus,
small crustaceans (probably atyid shrimps), insect
larvae, filamentous and unicellular algae and small
fish. The amount of inorganic matter such as sand
was relatively small; ignition loss of gut contents
was high (68.7% + 19.7 SD, n = 19) compared to
Tropheus duboisi (8.2% + 3.0 SD
moorii (25.7% + 8.9SD, n = 27) w
together with filamentous algae.
