Cyprichromis leptosoma and the ones with neon blue stripes are the Paracyprichromis nigripinnis.

I actually like both of those. Maybe a tang tank is in my future? Don't the nigripinnis need a decent sized tank?

The size you see is as big as they get. should really be in a bigger tank but ive been assured by serveral people they are fine. Everyone seems happy :) The Jumbo Leptosoma need a lot more space. They get up to 6". Both fish should be in groups of 6 or more. I hear 9 is better. Im actually trying to decide between a 6' tank for these guys or getting the 6' tank for some Fronts or maybe trohpeous. I just need a lot more money and space.

If not my vote goes to Synodontis Multipunctatus.   I've had them for 4-5 years now and survivors are very rare.  Plus I like the bonus cat fry.  I actually had one cat survivor.  Also 1-2 demasoni and labs but thats it in that amount of time.

But I have a fealing you'll set-up more tanks and keep the fry :P

Well the tank is kind of an experiment at this point. Not sure what im going to do. They might all go in a 6' tank sooner than later.

Nice tank.  I am working on a 75 gallon tang tank right now with some Enantiopus sp. "Kilesa" and Cyphotilapia gibberosa (Mpimbwe).  Trying to decide on what shellie and if I want to add julies.  Also, would like the Paracyprichromis nigripinnis or some type of cyp.

I havent seen too many varieties in person but if you can hold out there is some real cool/unique looking shellies.
