It's a Tanganyikan sand sifter, a maternal mouthbrooder, unlike a few of the other Xenotilapia which are biparental mouthbrooders. They need a four foot or larger tank with a sand substrate and a group of their own kind; eight or more is best. Like all Tangs they need hard, alkaline, stable water.

The Utinta's just a location - you'd find more info on the species, leaving that off.
