Rejoice Neolamprologus Lovers!

  For those of you who were disappointed by the loss of my female breeder Neolamprologus nigriventris - I imagine some of you were, but God only knows - rejoice! I have acquired some new stock. The fish were sold to me as a trio (1M, 2F), but I suspect after initial visual inspection - I did not vent them yet - that it is in fact two males and a single female. I also received a juvenile fish that had survived in the tank with the parents. I am disappointed because I had intended to pair one of the females with my remaining male and therefor have two pairs of breeders. Instead I will likely end up with one pair and two extra males. Of course, I could be wrong. Despite my best efforts to the contrary, I am often wrong about things.
  These fish are slightly smaller than my male, he being between five and six inches long whereas the two larger newcomers are four inches plus and the likely female is about half an inch shorter.
  In any case, I took a few pictures of the new fish. They were quite skittish, having just moved to their new temporary homes. Initially all three fish refused to show more than their snouts, hiding inside of clay flower pots. You can see that the largest of the three built a large sand pile in front of his entrance. I love cichlid personality. Eventually I managed to get a full body photo of the likely female and one of the suspected males.
