IMO the cmoon brichardi's are the best looking. I think theres a princess brichardi thats a bit bulkier, but thats all I know of the two.

 

[Lukee]

we got the princess one..
maybe ill just get them

 

[Mystix212]

Yeah, I think they get an inch or two longer than the regular ones. But they 'bulk' up more.

 

[Lukee]

look nicer?

I think you're confused, if you're talking about Neolamprologus brichardi there is only one species. There are however about 47 species of Neolamps, some are very similer to N. brichardi. Among them is....

N. splendens

N. pulcher

N. savoryi

N. falcicula

N. "cygnus"

N. gracilis

N. crassus

N. pulcher "daffodil"

N.brichardi

All these fish togther form what is known as the "Brichardi Complex". It's called this because of their similarity to N. brichardi but it's important to remember that they aren't N. brichardi, they are theri own species with their own requirements, not mearly color strains or breeds of one fish. As for what is the best, N. brichardi is without a doubt the most commonly seen and the cheapist one you can buy. I doubt in your average LFS you would see the others unless they were mixed in a shipment.
