exLamprologus multifasciatus (video)

Also known as ‘Lamprologus’ multifasciatus, or formerly as Neolamprologus multifasciatus, this tiny shell-dwelling cichlid from Lake Tanganyika in Africa is ideally suited for smaller aquariums, and does quite well even when crowded, as this is how it lives in nature. Filtration rated for a larger tank is important for this reason, and the intake should be covered with a sponge to prevent tiny fry from being sucked in.
