Açıklama	Boş Neothauma salyangoz kabuklarının bulunduğu sığ kumlu sahillerde yaşarlar. Yavrular yaklaşık 10 günde serbest yüzüşe geçerler. Erkekler ve dişiler görünüşte benzerdir, ama erkek boyut olarak dişiden büyüktür. Akvaryum, birkaç salyangoz kabuğu ve kumlu bir tabanla kurulmalıdır. Bölge olarak belirlediği kabuğu ve etrafını çok sert bir şekilde savunur. Vallisneria gibi sert yapraklı bitkiler kullanılabilir.

Scientific Name: Callochromis stappersii Habitat: Shallow Sediment-Rich Habitat Diet: Carnivore Gender Differences: Dimorphic Breeding: Maternal Mouthbrooder Temperament: Mildly Aggressive Conspecific Temperament: Mildly Aggressive Maximum Size: 4" Temperature: 77 - 79°F pH: 8.6 Water Hardness: Very Hard Difficulty: 2

Comments:

A very pretty fish, that often hovers about six to ten inches off the substrate. This isn't a pairing fish, and it is recommended to keep a single male, to four to six females. In the wild, they dine on insect larvae and small crustaceans, so a diet including flakes, mysis shrimp, daphnia, mosquito larvae, live baby brine shrimp, and cyclops is recommended.

Pronunciation: Refer to our Pronunciation Key for an explanation of the phonetic symbols.

Habitat: This is the primary location where the cichlid is found and is a generalization. This does not    mean a fish cannot be found in other habitats.

Diet: Many cichlids specialize in eating one type of food; notwithstanding, some of these specialized   feeders are flexible and can be opportunistic feeders.

Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tankmates that    are of a different species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to various factors,   including aquarium size, tankmates of similar appearance, stocking levels, and order of introduction.   There may even be some variability among individual specimens.

Conspecific Temperament: This describes the overall demeanor of a cichlid toward other tank-   mates of the same species. Consider that there is variability in temperament due to such factors as    aquarium size, stocking levels and order of introduction. There may even be some variability among    individual specimens.

Maximum Size: This is in regards to total length (including the tail) of typical aquarium specimens.    Wild specimens may not attain this size, or may in fact grow larger than aquarium raised individuals    due to various factors. Also consider that this is the typical maximum size and there are exceptional    individuals that will exceed it.

Difficulty: This measure is a relative value, comparing a single species against all other cichlids.    This only accounts for maintanence in the aquarium and not breeding considerations.   1 = easy and forgiving, 5 = extremely challenging.
