About Sunspot Brevis
The Sunspot variant of Neolamprologus brevis is a small, gently marked shell-dweller that tends to pair off rather than colonise as densely as multis. Give each pair its own cluster of shells and they'll happily set up territory and breed. A quiet, low-conflict choice for a sand-bottomed tank.
