Protomelas Taeniolatus and Neolamprologus Brevis
« on: October 31, 2011, 02:12:18 PM »
This is my 3 yr old Red Empress. His fins show evidence of his constant bickering with tankmakes to maintain his alpha position.


And this is one of my 2 yr old N. Brevis shelldwellers.

Thanks. The second one is a male Tanganyikan shell dweller, Neolamprologus Brevis.

Your Red Empress is BEAUTIFUL!  I would love to get one of these guys for my tank.  How big is it?  Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks.  That little 2" Neolamprologus Brevis charges and body slams the big guys in the tank if they come near his shell where his mate lives.  He killed the other male shelldwellers! He's as tough as he looks....little bulldog. :)
