Match: Neolamprologus caudopunctatus Poll, 1978 Contents 5
1 .- SCIENTIFIC NAME: Neolamprologus caudopunctatus
2 .- DISTRIBUTION: Endemic to Lake Tanganyika . It is located in the southern zone, covering the entire coastline of Zambia and the southern parts of Tanzania and Congo.
3 .- HABITAT: The habitat intermediate (1), with plenty of sand mixed with rocky areas where they usually nest in cracks and crevices at depths varying between 1 and 25 meters. 4 .-
MORPHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES: As in many other cichlids their sexual difference is not defined to be quite difficult to see with the naked eye. The only difference and that there always seems to be fulfilled is the yellow trim holding males in the tail fin and that gives us that little hint to differentiate. Because of the size we can not guide us in this case because they are practically identical.
5 .- LIKE YOUR PERFORMANCE: Like many cichlids is a good species to start with a group. It is very aggressive with their peers but that changes when a couple is formed. Then is when they show their territorial and usually do not tolerate their peers in their territory. When paired behavior between them is good and tolerance even more.
6 .- BEHAVIOR WITH OTHER SPECIES: His behavior is pretty good except when breeding, that's when they let anyone get close to great it is.
7 .- FOOD: Carnivore. The food in this small cichlid aquarium is very varied. Does not pose any problem when feeding. The cyclops, myssis, daphnia eggs, lobster, shrimp, or vegetable food for omnivores is pleasing and well accepted.
8 .- SIZE: About 3'' (around to 7.5 cm.)
9 .- PLAY: Incubator substrate, although not strictly a shell-dwelling cichlid, like to nest in shells if you need. Their behavior as parents is excellent and they spend a good temper when defending their territory and young.
10 .- DIFFICULTY: 2
11.-ACUARIO: The behavior of this species is quite tolerable even with a strong territoriality that makes a good opponent who is close to its territory. Fond of inhabiting the rocky part of the aquarium being relegated almost always has its territory. Despise not live inside a shell coming to nest there if the occasion deserves.
The choice of partners depends on the type of aquarium you are going to mount. If it is a fair sized aquarium combine well with a shell-dwelling not very aggressive behavior and be a partner. If we are able to put more species, species with similar range of tolerance, ie, which also has a bit of character that are cornered and know not like them placed in an area.
Undoubtedly, another option is to mount a specific aquarium with a large group of this species to see how they interact.
For a couple with a 60 liter tank would be ideal, there would be pretty good by themselves and could see a good performance of this kind so beautiful. If you have more liters without doubt one could choose to keep a group or else a trio with a male and a female pair.
