Nimbochromis polystigma
''Nimbochromis polystigma'' is a species of cichlid endemic to Lake Malawi, in the Great Rift Valley system of Africa. This species prefers areas with rock/sand substrate or areas with plentiful vegetation. It can grow to a length of TL.
==General==
Occurring throughout the lake, ''Nimbochromis polystigma'' is a piscivorous fish, often preying upon juvenile cichlids. The local name for the fish is ''Kaligono'', meaning 'sleeper' in the chiCheŵa language. It shares this name with other ''Nimbochromis'' species due to their hunting technique, which involves lying motionless on the bottom, sometimes on its side as if feigning death, until small fish approach to investigate, then pouncing on the prey. When hunting this way their colour will fade, apparently as the whiter colour attracts more small cichlids. They will also sometimes launch ambush attacks on small fish from the cover of vegetation, with their colouration acting as disruptive camouflage.
Like most Lake Malawi cichlids, ''Nimbochromis polystigma'' is a mouthbrooder, with the female carrying her young in her mouth for two to three weeks before being released.
