Where the species comes from: Africa

Temperament to its own species: aggressive/territorial

Temperament toward other fish species: aggressive/territorial

Usual place in the tank: Middle levels

Reccomended tank: The tank for a pair should be large enough, since this fish is aggressive and I don’t recommend to keep more than 1 pair in a small aquarium. After breeding, the male become very protective towards the fry. Caves, rocks and other hiding places are necessary for the female as she would die because of attacks.Distribution: Six-bar lamprologus can be found around the southern half of Lake Tanganyika.
