Neolamprologus Tretacephalus [Spawning video]

[riftwater]

I had Trets in my Tropheus tank and they did fine. My shiny new trets are from Drew's first batch and they are glorious.

Thanks for explaining Andrew. I've never seen these & I love the look of them. I asked because I'm in the beginning stages of converting my 125 mixed lake cichlid tank over to a Tang only tank and have been researching stocking compatibility in fish that I'm interested in keeping.  I'm fairly certain about what I'd like to have mid-column and rock dwelling but can't decide if I want shellies, sand dwellers, a combo of both (not sure that can be done ) so I'm a little stuck & still researching this area. I really think these are beauties & thank you for the info on them!

Good luck with your fry! ~ Cat

Cat... My pleasure. I really like them a lot... I think that they can be great community members for a tropheus/ tanganyika tank. The cool part and one of the reasons that I wanted to get them is because they are Molluscivore. They eat snails... I don't have my wild pair in a tank that has any snails but I have a tank I want to put a few in to see how they do and keeping the the snail population down...

Looking forward to seeing John! Probably look identical to these. They are the same batch.

I'm actually going to find some snails soon for them and once I get the algae under control in my grow out I'll take a video.

Hey Andrew- Do you have any fry ready?

Of these guys? Not yet. I have growing out and waiting on the Wild parents to spawn again.
