not sure havent ever kept these guys like previously said im sure you will get alot more help in the african section
Lamprologus Brevis is a nice species. A 5:1 female to male ratio is good too. Use a sand substrate and have a bunch of shells for them. I like a 2:1 shell to fish ratio to give them options. Other than that they're not that hard to care for IMO. Good luck. I'm sure Mike or Bobby in the Rift Lake Forum can help a little more.
