Many-banded Shell-dwelling Cichlid Neolamprologus multifasciatus
The Multilined Shell-dwelling Cichlid, also called Many-banded Shell-dweller, is one of several "shell dwelling" small cichlids
native to Lake Tanganyika.
Like the other species/genera of shell-dwellers, they hide in empty snail shells for protection from predators and also lay
their eggs in the shells.
The Multilined are communal nesters, using many empty shells in an area. They have light bodies with dark vertical lines.
One of the smallest cichlids in the world, they typically reach some 3-4cm long.
