Lamprologus meleagris-stappersi

I picked up my little Lamprologus meleagris-stappersi from Bee yesterday. Took these pictures this morning here is hoping they do better than the first fish I had in this tank LOL.

These are my first African Cichlids :)

Tank looks nice. Good scape, the fish have good color and look sweet. Nice set up. Have fun with these lil guys.

Very cool, definitely let us know how those Red claw work out in the tank. I know I had done some research that yielded the Macro species that is found in the lake itself and I imagine these would be better behaved. I think I might just try them in my tang tank next time you have a few extra....

Looking good man

Shells most likely came from specs. Thats where i get all mines from.

i've been collecting them from the bayous and creeks around my neighborhood, i know nick lives closeby... i thought they might be the same.

Those shells are escargot shells if I'm not wrong.

So far the macros hang out under the rocks and clean up scraps of food. The fish and shrimp leave each other alone.

I have a ton of juvenile macros if you want some come get em lol I have to many...

They are escargot shells from the specs down town.
