About the Neolamprologus Brevis

Name: Neolamprologus Brevis

Max Size: Up to 2 inches (5 cm)

Recommend pH: 7.8-9.0

Recommended Temperature (Β°F): 75-80Β°F (24-27Β°C)

Diet: Neolamprologus Brevis is a carnivorous species. In the wild, they primarily feed on small invertebrates and insect larvae. In the aquarium, they can be fed a variety of high-quality protein-based foods such as small live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. They may also accept high-quality pellets or flakes designed for carnivorous fish. It's important to offer a varied diet to ensure proper nutrition.

Temperament: Semi-aggressive

Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Non-schooling fish (Neolamprologus Brevis is not a schooling species, but they can be kept in small groups if provided with adequate space and hiding spots.)

Possible types of tank mates: When selecting tank mates for Neolamprologus Brevis, it's essential to choose fish that are compatible with their semi-aggressive temperament. They can be kept with other similar-sized Tanganyikan cichlids, such as other Neolamprologus species or smaller Julidochromis species. Avoid keeping them with overly aggressive or fin-nipping fish, as they may become stressed or engage in territorial disputes.

Behavior: Neolamprologus Brevis, also known as the African Shell Dweller, is a small and fascinating cichlid species native to Lake Tanganyika in East Africa. They are named after their unique behavior of choosing and defending empty snail shells as their territory. These fish are known for their intricate courtship rituals and complex social structures. They prefer a sandy substrate with plenty of shells and rock formations, which they use as hiding places and breeding sites. Neolamprologus Brevis is a hardy species that can adapt to a wide range of water parameters, but they thrive in alkaline water conditions. They are excellent parents and will guard their fry inside their chosen shells. With their interesting behavior and beautiful coloration, Neolamprologus Brevis makes an excellent addition to Tanganyikan-themed aquariums or for aquarists looking to observe unique cichlid behavior in a small-scale setup.

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) I’ve 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.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

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.
