While in this position, it takes a series of hard taps of the mouth on the rather plain epilithic algal mat during each feeding bout. This feeding behavior neither corresponds to grazing or browsing. Also feeds on particles floating on the water column (Ref. 13512). Yamaoka, K. 1990 Feeding behavior of <i>Asprotilapia leptura</i>, an epilithic algal feeding cichlid fish in Lake Tanganyika. Jap.
