Julidochromis ornatus, a cave-dwelling species from Lake Tanganyika. This is a young breeding group in a 40L. The mated pair are in the center, surrounded by some of their progeny from previous spawns. Smaller fry are all in hiding. The pair produces a small number of eggs every few days, and the resulting fry are raised cooperatively by the entire group. Very cool. I have another small group of these in another 40L with some Neolamprologus multifasciatus, interim quarters for the duration of my fish room upgrade, soon to start.
Nice! A. macmasteri?

Totally forgot about this thread. Had to play catch-up. All great pics!
Would love to see some pics from you... I seem to remember you had an anchor cat.
Back to Tropheus. Tropheus brichardi Kabimba 'Canary Cheek.'
I obtained these from a WaFishbox member (@Elblin) about five years ago. They are an unusual and attractive population, but by far the most aggressive Tropheus I have ever kept. They are also robust, at ~6"TL at maturity. I had no success keeping 10 individuals together as a group in a 75g, and could not offer them a larger tank at the time, so I split the group in half and put them in with other established Tropheus colonies. Most Tropheus keepers do not mix Tropheus populations for fear of hybridization, but that is not an issue here, as T. brichardi is only distantly related to other Tropheus species, as shown in this DNA cladogram, courtesy of Ad Konings-
It's interesting to note that the type species of the genus, T.moorii, is the most recently evolved species.

Not mine. Fellow hobbyist.

Definitely on my list of fish I would like to keep.
Wet Spot gets the Albino ones in at a pretty reasonable price... maybe one day I might try one again.
