About Black Occies
Neolamprologus speciosus, traded as "Black Occies", is a dark-bodied shell-dwelling species from the occellatus species complex. It shares the sandy-bottom, shell-territory lifestyle of its relatives and does well in a mixed shell-dweller colony with adequate shells for every resident.
