Neolamprologus Kungweensis

Thank you Cichlid Press and Ad Konings for allowing me to use your pictures.

This little Shell dweller is often confused with Neolamprologus Signatis.  I also obtained some information on this fish by J. McCann at [email protected]  Thank you again Jim.  I am told this is a Mud dweller that likes to dig a tunnel in the mud floor.  It will live in buried shells or buried small bottles in the bottom (sand) with just the opening showing.  They do just as well if kept with shells. This shell dweller will be coming soon.  I ordered 4 fish from Wet Thumb Aquatics (see links page.).
Fish Arrived Feb. 1, 2000 about 1.5" to 2" long.  I ordered 4 and received 5 of these great looking shell dwellers.

Tank Size: - 20 gallon long
Tank Temp: - 78 to 82
Tank pH; - 8.0
Adult size:  8.0 cm

Breeding Information:
On 05/12/2000 I noticed my first batch of fry from this pair of fish.  The female spawned in a shell that she filled part way up with sand.  The male is in another shell on the other side of the tank from the female.  The female is very protective, I found this out because I put my hand in the tank, before I realized there where fry, to clean the glass of algae and the little bugger when after my hand.  I can only see about a dozen fry but this is the first day of hatching so I am hoping many more are still in the shell.
