GOLD Ocellatus Shell Dweller (lamprologus ocellatus) Live Fish African Cichlid

Description

You will receive a healthy gold ocellatus shell dwelller (
lamprologus ocellatus gold)
tank bred and raised here in the USA.
They have gorgeous gold coloration with a florescent purple patch. They already show coloration as juveniles and won’t get huge (about 2.5" max). The fish are 1"-1.5" and unsexed. If you are looking for a pair; purchasing 3 fish will give you 75% chance of male and female, 4 fish is 87.5%, 5 fish is 93.75%, and 6 fish gives you 96.8% chance. Pictures are not of the exact one you will receive but they are my pictures from my stock.
These fish are best kept with other semi aggressive fish such as other cichlids or species only. Pairs can form and they will raise their babies but males can be territorial and break in lines of sight are needed.
