In its natural environment, the Tropheus lives in the midst of rocky scree.

Along the shore, east of the beach, you quickly come across pretty rocky screes (↕1-1.5m), partly covered with algae.

[9] The plants that grow at the highest altitudes have adapted to conditions by specialization such as growing in rock screes that give protection from winds.

The dominant part of the extension is high mountain territory over 2000m in altitude, and covered mostly by alpine meadows, rocky screes and summits.
