Africa; this species is found in Lake Tanganyika.

Sexing

It is believed that the females are slightly larger than the males; this has yet to be proven.

Breeding

Brown julie’s need caves and rock work in the tank to provide spawning sites, they will move the substrate in the caves ready for the eggs. The eggs will be laid inside the cave, usually underneath the top. This sometimes makes it hard to view the eggs but the fish will guard them very well, attacking any would be predators. The fry are very small when they hatch so should be fed on newly hatched brine shrimp or Infusoria. As they fish develop, the juveniles will also play their part in looking after future batches of eggs.

The expected life span for Julidochromis dickfeldi is 7 years.
