L. daffodil
Lamprologus daffodil
| HABITS |
|
The L daffodil is probably a subspecies of the L. brichardi. These are good fish for the beginning aquarist. It is recommended to keep them in rather large aquariums, with plenty of hideaways provided. The parents allow semi-adult juveniles to stay with them, in order to help guard their younger brothers and sisters!

|
| SEXING |
|
You can tell these fish apart by their fins. The females' fins are not as well-developed as the males' fins.

|
|
| BREEDING |
|
These fish breed in caves. The parents guard their offspring very carefully. These fish are very productive; so before purchasing them, make sure you know of people you can give young fish to. (Most keepers of Tanganyikan cichlids are no longer interested in the fish as there are just too many of them, they are 'too easy', and therefore, they are not much of a challenge.)
