Practically any of the similar fish, if you find

breeding info would be the same. Try tretocephalus or trets, there's probably more written

about them.

From my experience, they need to be not only the right size but the right

age. That means 3-4 inches and at least 2-3 years old. I had a colony that I grew, 14 fish, kept

them for almost 3 years. I sold the group and they spawned within 2 months. Dan

Let us know about intra

species agression with N. sexfasciatus. I have not kept them but have attempted Neolamprogus

tretocephalus. That species would not be happy in a 3x3x2 aquarium.
