I am admittedly confused by the current taxonomical definition of the species Neolamprologus brichardi and Neolamprologus pulcher. I was mistakenly under the impression that the two had been clumped together under N. pulcher. After reading a species profile on Cichlidae.com for N. pulcher, I am of the understanding that they are still considered two distinct species. My apologies to anyone confused by any of my previous posts that may have indicated otherwise.
So to clarify, I do not have any N. pulcher. I currently have some albino brichardi.
The most easily recognized difference between the two species is the pattern on the cheek of the fish. N. brichardi have perpendicular marks, while N. pulcher have two parallel, near-vertical marks. This is not so easy to determine in the albino form.
