Okay...I saw my LFS now carries these and I am so interested in them I want to do some research to see if I can pull off a new tank! LOL
I just want to know what the "real" name of these little beauties are so I can research if someone would give me a starting point. I know they are cichlids. I will do a species only tank.
They were $19.95 a piece too. Is that about right??

Were they Lamprologus ocellatus?

Look up Neolamprologus and you will find quite a few.

Thank you both. That is exactly the start I needed!! I can't remember exactly which ones they were so I just want to get all the info I can on different types.
Thank you! Off to do some reading on them.
