Evidence (2021-01-01): Above: The living holotype of Chindongo longior (previously called Pseudotropheus longior), BMNH 1995.8.15: 9 (86.7 mm SL), from Mbamba Bay, Tanzania; about 1000 meters south of Chinyangi Point, collected 14 April 1990 by B. Kilian and L. Seegers. Photographed alive in Germany an unspecified interval after collection. [...] The algae of such a territory therefore grow better than in the surrounding area and are kept clean; these areas are light greenish whereas in the surrounding areas the grey color of the rocks is dominant. The females of P. longior seemed to be territorial as well, but since males and females look very much alike this cannot be stated with certainty. Aquarium observations confirmed the aggressiveness of P. longior. (Seegers, 1996: 107-108)Seegers regards one of the two syntype specimens (now the paralectotype) of Fryer's C. elongatus as actually belonging to C. longior. The type locality of both species is Mbamba Bay, Tanzania, where they are sympatric and, indeed, syntopic (found together on the very same rocky shore). C. longior is evidently known at present only from the immediate vicinity of Mbamba Bay.

Evidence (2017-11-01): Mbamba Bay hill 21.8.17 [...] We ascended in fact from behind Ndelene village, finding small paths leading part way up, then we proceeded up through the trees and then made our way through the long grass and boulders to a perch on one of the summit boulders. There were two disadvantages here, first a great number of midges or sandflies which lurked in the vegetation here – in fact we could see from the summit clouds of them over the sea, which appeared like smoke. We had been quite confused as to what we had been seeing at first, until we were told by a man on the beach later what it was. The other discomfort here was some hairy stemmed plant whichwas quite painful when the hairs got stuck in the skin. But otherwise it was a very beautiful place, and we decided to descend to a small rocky cove beyond where we sat on the rocks for quite a while and swam in the clear water, before we returned partly by the rocky coast, then over the crest back this time to descend to the biocamp, and proceed along the beack back to Mbamba Bay.

Evidence (2023-01-23): At first sight one could think Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba" (the species is not yet scientifically described) is a typical mbuna of Lake Malawi: blue ground color, zebra stripes. But in reality Labidochromis sp. "Mbamba" is quite different. It is not a mbuna in the real sense, which are known to be algae/Aufwuchs eaters and aggressively defend their relatively large territories, because algae growth is sparse there, but a small animal picker. This can also be seen by their single pointed, forward facing teeth, which are not at all suitable for scraping off algae/Aufwuchs. L. sp. "Mbamba" thus specifically picks up small food particles. It is considered one of the most peaceful Malawi cichlids, but this should always be seen relatively. Disheveled fins can also be found in this species from time to time. [...] So far this species is only known from Mbamba Bay in Tanzania, hence the name, where the species exists in four known populations. In the aquarium the usual rules of Malawi cichlid care apply: as large as possible, well-structured aquariums (i.e. many rocks, caves, hiding places), clean water, temperatures around 24-28°C, pH not below 7.5. As far as nutrition is concerned, these fish are less sensitive to the "normal" ornamental fish diet, which for many growth-eating Mbunas is nevertheless too nutrient-rich, which is why they grow significantly larger in the aquarium than in nature. A good brand flake food and frozen food in the form of small crustaceans (Artemia, Daphnia, Cyclops) ensure healthy, colorful Labidochromis.
