My Favourite Tanganyikan Cichlid! - Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus Breeding & Care Guide

Hey all,
Today I was stoke to find a new spawn from my Neolamprologus Caudopunctatus and it inspired me to let you all know a little bit about them.
I really love these fish, and think they are super underrated. Not a true shelldweller, but definitely a rockdweller and cave spawner.
A nice temperament, not difficult to breed and a whole lot of fun, definitely recommend giving these a go!

Yeah, they are some of my favorite fish too. Such great personalities.

[@BlakesAquatics]

The best

[@JasonsCichlids]

If you could call a fish "classy" then I reckon these guys are one of the classiest looking Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids! There's something about the iridescent spots on their scales that makes these guys stand out. Congrats on the spawn mate, they look so cool with their fry and gee the fry look tiny! And how cool that they spawned in your cave too. Nice one mate!

[@BlakesAquatics]

Absolutely 👌 these fish are special

[@DreamWeaverPets]

These are one of our favorites. We currently have two breeding pairs in our fishroom. Always exciting to find fresh Spawns

[@NateK-MN]

The males actually have a vertical stripe on the back edge of the caudal fin, hard to notice though! Chris Carpenter taught me this - head of a large cichlid club in Michigan.

[@BlakesAquatics]

Great to know cheers

[@caewalker9276]

I love the color changes in the Shellies. Thanks Blake

[@edstar81]

cool looking fishies mate. Love the colours on them 😀 How many would you keep in a 3Ft?

[@BlakesAquatics]

6 to 10 would be a great little group 👌

[@mraquaticnews5676]

Very good bio Blake! Just picked up some, traditional yellow striped!

[@BlakesAquatics]

[@willbarker1998]

very interesting fish! Definitely worth the detour to pick them up

[@BlakesAquatics]

Yes very grateful thanks again mate 🙏

[@calebwatson3023]

That's a interesting looking fish.

[@daniellanderosjr.1948]

Any tank mates for them? I have a 40b and want to add some others to the fam.

[@Kobalt2772]

I have a supposed pair of these fish, one bigger than the other and it has a yellow trim on the caudal fin and the other is smaller without the yellow trim. The male hides in a shell for most of the day and the female is digging holes under rocks and shells provided. I assume they're getting ready to lay eggs based on that behavior?

[@BlakesAquatics]

Sounds very promising to me 👍

[@Kobalt2772]

@@BlakesAquatics sweet. I hope they reproduce because if they do ill get a 50gal lowboy tank for them and start a massive breeding group with it.

[@herpdiversity9152]

Tanganyikan cichlids are so underrated

[@BlakesAquatics]

Absolutely! I am falling deep 🤣

[@ADUAquascaping]

Indeed. Tanganyika are by far my favorite fish!

[@bigg490]

I want to see a video of you saying that drunk.
