Gombe and Bemba are collection sites, rift lake cichlids are often named that way. Thing is, the Gombe variant has been reclassified from a transcriptus to a marlieri species, but since that was the original name it lingers. They're a dwarf species, females (the larger sex) grow to about 3", but much more aggressive in general than the Bemba variant.
I had 2 different groups of the Gombe, 1 group in a 55 community and the others in a 29 some months later. I ended up with a single survivor from each group that had killed off the others. Ironically, one was male, the other female, and they did pair off when I eventually moved the younger male into the 55. I was cleaning the tank one day and found a single fry, the sole survivor of their brood. I was afraid to turn it loose back into the tank since I'd rearranged everything, and placed it in a floating plastic breeder to grow out a bit. After it grew to about 2-2.5 times the size it was when I found it (still quite small, maybe 1") it went over the wall. Apparently it was simply tired of the confined space, even though it had gravel and cover (small plastic plants) in there. The wee bugger grew to an adult, but I never found any more fry or indications the pair had spawned again. I finally sold all 3 of them, along with a group of Paracyp's, to another hobbyist who had a much larger tank for them all.
