I will try to upload the journal paper later. There are preserved and live fish pictures in it.
This is an excerpt from the paper:

"Lepidiolamprologus kamambae shares most of its features with L. kendalli, in particular the beautiful contrasting light and dark markings on the top of the head, distinguishing the two from all other lamprologins. The body coloration, however, is very different. Lepidiolamprologus kamambae is more similar there to L. elongatus and L. mimicus, with rows of blotches along the back and flanks where L. kendalli instead has broad bands"

Kenneth n EC, I suspect the L. kendalli "Kasanga" could be L. kamambae as they possess row of blotches at the back part of their flanks instead of broad bandings.

This is just an idea. You can observe further n give your input.

Good piece of infor. there, Johannes.
What do you think this piece is ?

It has been a while since I last updated my tanks.
Lost a few fishes along the way, and also acquired quite a numbers to replace those lost.

I like to share with you a few videos which I just take.
Hope you guys will like it.
