Nanochromis Parilus (sometimes eroniously called N. Nudiceps), They're from West Africa and mean as hell when their kids are threatened, or pretty much any other time for that matter:-(. If you want to have a look, try this link to thekrib.com http://www.thekrib.com/Apisto/N-nudiceps.html. Mine are more colourful, especially the females with a very pretty pink belly. They're real pigs and can overeat. As I said before they're breeding to the point where I'm running out of room (and I've got four tanks with them in, 400+ litres)!

P.S. If I remember correctly your water might not even show any hardness, so be careful with acid crashes. Similarly you shouldn't have any problems breeding pretty well any of the DCs so long as you keep up with the water changes.

Which part of Scotland are you in? If, as in most of the highlands, you've got ultra-soft, peaty water, you may have problems with Cacatuoides. I've got this water in my Apisto tanks and the only ones I CANT breed are Cacatoos:-(. I'd agree with the Borellis though, they can be very pretty. Another alternative might be my N. Parilus:-) They ARE very agressive though so you can't really mix them with much else, but they kepp breeding, and breeding and....

hello Colin , I'm in Fife and the water is just over 7pH and I haven't measured the hardness - from washingup I'd say its not too hard!!! What are N. Parilus -I've never heard of them?
