Tonight as I fed the fish, I only counted four of my Neolamprologus brevis. They’re in a 35g cichlid species only tank with a few zebra danios.
Species
Another Amatitlania nanolutea pairing?
My established breeding pair of Amatitlania nanolutea have apparently taken a break from spawning. For almost a year, I was getting fry about every eight weeks. The last brood was the first week of June…over 90 days ago.
Update on the Altolamprologus compressiceps
Just over a month ago, I purchased eight Altolamprologus compressiceps, four each of Kitoti (black) and Kagunga (redfin). I posted about them on July 11th. Since that post, I made some modifications to their tank.
How do I decide what cichlid species to keep?
If you want to know how I decide what fish to work with, keep reading. Unless you have been following the blog for a long time and consistently read my posts, it might be difficult to discern why I keep the cichlid species that I keep. You can read my About the author page or browse the blog’s FAQ page.
New fish – A. compressiceps and N. brevis!
It’s been a while since I purchased new fish. I had my heart set on returning from the Bluegrass Bash in June (2026) with some species I have never kept. That was plan A, but it did not come to fruition.
Julies will dig in the sand
It’s common knowledge that Julidochromis species are rock dwellers, but did you know they will also move sand?
Julidochromis dickfeldi tank redo
I have posted numerous times about Julidochromis dickfeldi. They are one of my favorite lamprologine cichlids. They’re both active and prolific breeders.
Another nanolutea spawn
The good news is I had another Amatitlania nanolutea spawn recently. The bad news is that the brood was small and, once again, they were all gone in a few days. This is frustrating.
Julidochromis marksmithi Kipili are now alone
Sadly, the last remaining Julidochromis regani Burundi passed away a few days ago. I am guessing it was about seven years old. Thus, the three Julidochromis marksmithi now have the whole 75g tank to themselves.
