Altolamprologus calvus by Mike McCartney
Summary: Calvus are very similar to compressiceps in appearance. How Mike kept and bred them.

For breeding purposes shells maybe needed as such as Altolamprologus Calvus, Lepidolamprologus Nkambae etc. Those fish I just listed are all from Lake Tanganyika in Africa, there are some Pseudotropheus Sp. in Malawi that are shell breeders/dwellers.
