COMMENTS

A fish reportedly caught in the Congo, Neolamprologus helianthus is now being bred and exported as adults from Zambia- Cichlid News, Jan 2003

Neolamprologus helianthus Sunflower is a beautiful dwarf brichardi type. Our wild breeders are no bigger than 2" or so. In addition the fry at even .5" show a nice yellow color. This could be one of the nicest new additions to the substrate breeders from Lake Tanganyika in some time- Alan Bliven, (Cichlid Lovers) Aug 2003
