About Brichardi
Neolamprologus brichardi, long known as the Princess of Burundi, is one of the most recognisable Tanganyikans thanks to its flowing fins and pearlescent colouring. Like its close relative the Daffodil Cichlid, it forms cooperative colonies where older offspring help guard younger siblings — genuinely engaging to watch settle into a rockwork community.
