Title: Altolamprologus Sp. Compressiceps Dwarf Sumbu
Post by: Shawn84 on April 25, 2015, 05:35:13 PM
Just wanna share this neat little guy. Was lucky enough to pick up a group. They are F1 rarely seen in Canada. Still a bit shy and hard to take a nice pic of them.

I got this group from a Tang enthusiast in Toronto. Wasnt looking for this type of shell dweller but when i saw them they look nice and neat.

Make sure you keep your water SUPER CLEAN. Tangs are more sensitive than Malawi cichlids and Calvus/Comps are more sensitive than many other Tangs.

Keep your nitrates low!!!!! is very important.
