scientific name: Altolamprologus calvus

origin: Lake Tanganyika

max size: 4"

water: Hard 7+PH temp: 75-80F

habitat: Rock dweller

diet: anything. Veggie/meat. Live fish , worms , pellets. Mine are on pellets.

aggressive: passive , can be territorial with each other but not to the death.

difficulty: easy. Very hardy fish.

comments: Beautiful fish when you see them but thats the problem , you will never see them. They are the shiest fish I have ever owned , they never come out , not even for feeding. Ctenopomas are shy too but they come out for feedings. These guys can be very boring to own , I really would recommend researching them so you know what you're investing into. You have been warned.
