Teresa,
I'm assuming that you're referring to Neolamprologus Brichardi ( Lyretail,
black patch on the gill cover etc )? If you're, they are very tough fish
from Lake Tanganyika, where the water is very hard 8.0 - 9.0 pH but, tank
raised fish will survive and even spawn in your water.
Down side is that they are aggressive and very territorial ( just like most
cichlids ). I would not suggest you keep them with very peaceful fish, I
would recommend you chose another Cichlid from Lake Tanganyika ( i.e.-
Neolamp. Leleupi, Neolamp. Cylindricus, even shell dwellers like Neolamp.
Ocellatus..Brevis..Meleagris etc.).
You can contact me offline for any additional suggestions.
Good luck
sal
