Name: Five Barred Lamprologus
Max Size: Five Barred Lamprologus can grow up to 3-4 inches in length.
Water Parameters: Five Barred Lamprologus prefer alkaline water conditions with a pH range of 7.8-9.0. They thrive in warm water with a temperature between 75-80Β°F.
Diet: Five Barred Lamprologus are carnivorous and primarily feed on small invertebrates and insect larvae. They can be fed a varied diet including high-quality pellets, frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and small crustaceans.
Temperament: Five Barred Lamprologus are territorial and can be aggressive, especially during breeding and when establishing their territory. They are best kept in species-specific tanks or with other robust cichlids from Lake Tanganyika.
Tank Setup: Provide a tank with plenty of rocky hiding places and caves to replicate their natural habitat. Use fine sand as the substrate to mimic the sandy bottom of Lake Tanganyika. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are necessary to maintain good water quality.
Compatibility: Five Barred Lamprologus should be kept with other Lake Tanganyika cichlids, preferably those from the same habitat and similar size. Avoid keeping them with small or peaceful fish that may become targets of aggression.
Behavior: Five Barred Lamprologus are known for their territorial behavior and interesting social dynamics. They form small harems with a dominant male and multiple females. Males can display intense coloration and engage in courtship rituals to attract females.
Fun Fact: Five Barred Lamprologus are endemic to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. They are named after the five dark vertical bars or stripes that run along their body, creating a striking visual pattern. These fish exhibit fascinating breeding behaviors and their vibrant coloration adds beauty to any Tanganyikan cichlid aquarium.
Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) Iβve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
