Steatocranus Casuarius, commonly known as the blockhead or buffalo cichlid, comes from the Congo River Basin, where they make their home in fast flowing streams. This is how the fish developed its unusual swimming style, because of the fast water current, it has an under-developed swim bladder and swims in a jerky movement, much like a goby. The name Steatocranus Casuarius refers to the large lump on the males head, the translation of its name says fat-skull-helmet (steato-cranium-cassida). This small to medium-sized cichlid was first described by Max Poll in 1935.
