Hi All...

Does anyone know of the common name for Neolamprologus brevis? I've checked both here in FP and a few other sites to no avail. I'd quite like to order one or two, but my LFS get confused when you quote scientific names :-P

Ive tried searching 2 but i couldnt really find anything its scientific name might be its common name.Are u 100% sure on the spelling, could it be, Neolamprologus brevis?

Common Name, Neolamprologus brevis

Latin Name,

Brevis Shell Dweller - Neolamprologus brevis
There are two commonly seen varieties in the trade – the sunspot and the "standard" brevis:

The sunspot brevis is a brownish-mauve colored fish with a bright golden spot on each side of the fish right behind the pectoral fins. During periods of stress, the fish develops light tan stripes down its sides.

The "standard" brevis is actually from Kigoma, Tanzania. It has a brownish body with 9 tan stripes down its side

Thanks guys for your quick responses :-)

I'll try checking with them for the name Brevis Shell Dweller.

I haven't got any African fish, so a small Cichlid looks like a good idea
