[ProAquatics]

ive never seen one take out eyes in captivity.they love guppies tho and live bloodworms and prawns and what not good luck

Sweet looking fish when mature.

i think the scientific name u were looking for was dimidiochromis compressiceps NOT altolamprologus compressiceps.

Btw these guys are good for reducing fry number.
