Introducing the terror of Tanganyika cichlids, Ctenochromis horei.
This cichlid is not very common in the hobby, which I think, in part, is due to its level of aggression.





Face-off with the Callipterus....

Thanks for sharing bud!

[gcce]

how's the aggression level? i guess there is enough hiding spots.

[ectan]

So far so good.
No aggression shown up to now.
It could be they are still young fishes.
Time will tell when they get bigger & matured.

I will try to upload the journal paper later. There are preserved and live fish pictures in it.
This is an excerpt from the paper:

"Lepidiolamprologus kamambae shares most of its features with L. kendalli, in particular the beautiful contrasting light and dark markings on the top of the head, distinguishing the two from all other lamprologins. The body coloration, however, is very different. Lepidiolamprologus kamambae is more similar there to L. elongatus and L. mimicus, with rows of blotches along the back and flanks where L. kendalli instead has broad bands"

Kenneth n EC, I suspect the L. kendalli "Kasanga" could be L. kamambae as they possess row of blotches at the back part of their flanks instead of broad bandings.

This is just an idea. You can observe further n give your input.
