The 'Pearly ocellatus' is my current favorite Tanganyika 'shellie'
All photos are of my colony and I will try to net 6 medium sized adults with my best guess of mixed sexes.
These fish are beautiful, can be kept in a Tanganyikan community, and form loose colonies which is fabulous. I have mine in a 4'x2' lowboy tank you can raise them in a 20 long. Give them room and the colony is awesome to watch grow. Females form their own territory and put on a nice parenting show. Not very aggressive. Very unlike typical ocellatus.
See reference link to my AquaristSpecies.net page for more info on this exact colony.
