About Similis

Neolamprologus similis is a small shell-dwelling species closely related to N. multifasciatus, sharing the same sandy-bottom, shell-colony lifestyle. Slightly less bold than multis, it does best in a larger colony where there's always a neighbour nearby for confidence. A calm, low-aggression addition to a dedicated sand and shell setup.
