So cool to see your brevis. I finally have a small group of juvenile brevis in a species only 20 gallon tank, and they have gone onto my fav fish list instantly, so much fun to watch.
I’m so pleased I’ve seen this.I have a colony,very large now.However I never knew about the colour change.Mine are silver,but I really do like the dark colour.Will have to top off with new sand.Thankyou they really are a lovely fish,I just them
Very interesting about the substrate! Currently have these in a heavy planted tank with pearl gourami, angelfish, and corydora. They do fantastic together. Keep temps below 78° and helps reduce aggression
One thing that was most interesting was when I built my own aquarium in 1978. I had mostly South American cichlids and used a tannic solution for the water. Without knowing what I was doing I also threw in about 4 Neolomprologus Brichardi. Yup, African cichlids. They took to my rock structure right away but really surprised me most when I saw little black dots darting among the rocks. They bred in a South American tank. Though I never tracked and tested it, I'm sure it was higher in pH and much harder than water in the Rio Negro.
Brevis was the other Shell dweller i have been considering for my Brichardi/Multi/Biotope Tank.Slowly gathering up pieces for it but hopefully be ready by End of Summer.

lovely fish dont think they would go in my tank with the stable ph i have, decided to get a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides that seem happy in my community tank, love the videos though keep up the good work 👍
Hi Jason! What about N. Brichardii, would they make a good community tank with the Brevis? I have been wanting to add to my Brichardiis and she’ll dwellers are my first choice to add…. Thoughts?
It's hard to believe there isn't any driftwood in Lake Tanganyika. Large portions of it's shoreline are lined with trees and shrubs, as are the rivers that flow into it.
That doesn’t mean their basic physiology has changed. Their physiology is still optimized for water conditions similar to those found in Lake Tanganyika.
Warms my heart that you are giving love to Shellie’s. Brevis are highly underrated
I just love these little guys! Thanks for highlighting them.

Interesting fish. I had never seen them before. Great information Jason. Gina Hetlage

👍😎 Really like the blue around the eyes, probably looks way better in person. Bulldog face… I thought look like a grumpy old man (like me).
It sure does!
Do you think they could work in a Tanganyikan community set up
Sure - always better if they are the only shell dwellers in the tank though.
That background looks awesome, is it from universal rocks?
Yes! I like their backgrounds.
Nice!!
lovely fish dont think they would go in my tank with the stable ph i have, decided to get a pair of apistogramma cacatuoides that seem happy in my community tank, love the videos though keep up the good work 👍
That’s a good choice too!
That’s a good choice too!
Great, informative video, thx! :)
Do you still breed lamprologus callipterus and have any available? And absolutely love your videos and work by the way amazing stuff!
I kind of like them on that dark substrate
Jaison sir which type filter use in
This tank
Just one hydro III sponge filter by ATI.
Hi Jason! What about N. Brichardii, would they make a good community tank with the Brevis? I have been wanting to add to my Brichardiis and she’ll dwellers are my first choice to add…. Thoughts?
They tend to overrun a tank with fry so sometimes they fight a little more.
@@PrimeTimeAquatics cool, thanks, gives me something to think about. 😊
Hi amigo good video how can breed My brevis Shell dweller?
Just give them the water parameters they need and shells. They will do the rest.
Rad fish. Thanks
It's hard to believe there isn't any driftwood in Lake Tanganyika. Large portions of it's shoreline are lined with trees and shrubs, as are the rivers that flow into it.
These fish haven't seen lake tanganika. They are captive bred regarding temps and PH.
That doesn’t mean their basic physiology has changed. Their physiology is still optimized for water conditions similar to those found in Lake Tanganyika.
