Neolamprologus buescheri duo from NKS

[chanmama]

Introducing my N. buescheri duo which I just bought from NKS this afternoon. I was actually planning to get some N. similis when I chanced upon this duo in a separate tank of its own. I read that they are highly aggressive towards their own kind but there is minimal aggression between this duo. Below are some pictures of the duo. I added some zebra danios so act as dither fish because I read that even a pair can be quarrelsome at times. I am really hoping and suspecting that this is a pair as they are always swimming together and at times even nudging each other gently. Within 30min of putting transferring them into my tank, the bigger darker fish (suspected male) is already busy digging sand from underneath the slate, with the lighter coloured fish looking on. Really keeping my fingers crossed!

Nice catch on the Neolamprologus buescheri.

Your tank looks a bit barren though. Try to get a few more rocks or slates for the pair.

Add more snail shell for them to hide around..
Or any plastic T tube from hardware shops.

Oh, do they take snail shells? I have many shells but I thought they prefer rocky habitat.

Yes, shall source out for more rocks. Anyway, have you kept this fishes before? Any idea if this is a pair?

Yup they do loves hiding in shells...
It might be hard to you to catch them out later but they'll feel more at home.
