About Gold Head Kantalamba Compressiceps
This is the Kantalamba collection-point variant of Altolamprologus compressiceps 'Gold Head', known among Tanganyika keepers for particularly vivid gold head colouration. Same reclusive, ambush-predator behaviour as other compressiceps — a shell or tight rock crevice to call home is essential.
