There is no such fish as a Neolamp. compressiceps calvus.  Altolamprologus 
calvus and Altolamprologus compressiceps are the two species and are available 
in different color morphs and locational variants.  If you get a picture of 
yours, I might be able to help you determine which you have.

  I'd like to get at least one other Neolamprologus comprecisseps Calvus. He
  seems a little lonely. Has anyone seen this fish in the $20 range?

  I have a few Do Jo's which are seen often curled up
  near or on top of the heater. They will also burry
  themselves under the sand.
