General
Julidochromis regani is rather aggressive against equals and needs a tank arranged with many caves and hiding-places. All Julidochromis are sensitive against too big waterchanges, well established breeding-pairs can split up.
Because of that you should change a small amount of water regularly, about 10-15% of the quantity each time.

Distribution
Found all around the Lake Tanganyika in different geographical variants. The most popular variant with blue seams in the fins is found around Kipili in Tanzania.
