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.
Neolamprologus brevis “Katabe”
Another custom tank on order

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.
