well this is one of the easiest cichlids to breed, and once it has bred they monthly will do this.
ths isn't the smalles cichlid, the smallest is a shell dweller also from lake tanganyika called neolamprologus multifasciatus.
brichardi can get to a max size of 4''
i haven't kept em but im lokking forward i really like their lyre tail and their graceful swimming.
