lamprologus multifasciayus
lombardoi mbuna
blue acara
apistogramma agassizii
neolamprologus brevis

You have quite a few from different areas there.
lamprologus multifasciayus dont know what this is but its african.

lombardoi mbuna are an aggressive little fish and are also african. By aggressive i mean absalute little nutter that will kill most things the same size as it.

blue acara is a medium to small sized rather peaceful american.

apistogramma agassizii is a dwaf cichlid that is peacful
and even shy.

neolamprologus brevis i pretty sure this is the fairy cichlid and is a small african, but dont let its name and looks decieve you this little bad boy would hand the lombardoi a beating.

i have decided on 'lamprologus multifasciayus' can i get some info on just that one?, expecialy on breeding

I've never heard of them, but this link might help:

fishyhelper,
do you mean neolamprologus multifasciatus?

EDIT - oops, I see that's not what you meant, sorry.

n.multifasciayus could surely only be n.multifasciatus, the worlds smallest known cichlid - a shalldweller from lake tanganyika, as n.brevis is (which wouldn't be able to defend itself as well as n.brichardi, the 'fairy' cichlid).

where have you got the names from? are they the fish available in your lfs which you like the look of?

"neolamprologus brevis i pretty sure this is the fairy cichlid and is a small african, but dont let its name and looks decieve you this little bad boy would hand the lombardoi a beating."

The neolamprologus brevis is not the fairy cichlid. Brevis are shell dwellers and top off at about 1.5-2"

The fairy cichlid is neolamprologus brichardi, but there are other fish that look similiar that are oftenly confused, like the n. pulcher daffodil, n. helianthus, n. similis (sp?)

Brevis is a shelldweller which sometimes is common depending on your area. Care is easy, and require a small tank, about 20-10 gallons, with 3-4 shells to each fish.

Multis are pretty easy to care, and need about 5 inchs diameter each from their established territory. Breeding is relatively easy and happens. usually its 1:3 females with 3-4 shells each, more if you want.
