Neolamprologus multifasciatus

Remarks: These shell-dwellers will use round snail shells as breeding locations, sometimes burying the shell in sand to conceal it. They work well as a colony of breeders, with many pairs occupying shells within a small surface area. You will be rewarded with many fry, which are typically ignored by the parents.

These fish should be kept in groups of 5 or more due to their social nature.
