Neolamprologus Brevis

Lamprologus Brevis is one of the less commonly available shell dwellers from Lake Tanganyika. This beautiful nano species is one that I breed in house and have great success with. If you are looking for a species with lots of personality and a little splash of colour maybe the Brevis is right for you.

I recommend species only tank for this fish because of its small size. It’s not a very suitable to be kept with larger Tanganyikans.

• Tank Size - minimum 10 gallons for an adult pair; 20-30 gallons (low tank with plenty of bottom area, height is rarely used) for a colony, larger is always best. Be sure to provide ample shells.
• This species is mainly carnivore, and is not a picky eater. A high quality diet is appreciated by this fish and they will be in best health with a diet that has lots of variety.
