Hi guys, I have a new tanganyikan setup, it's only a small 80 litre setup.

In it I have-

Julidochromis Transcriptus
Neolamprologus brichardi
neolamprologus leleupi
Also these, i am not sure of the name- http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b285/R_R...oy/DSC00562.jpg
And of course the compressicep's (2)

1 of the compressiceps seems to be ok (although sluggish) but the 2nd one, as soon as i put it into the tank yesterday (all at the same time) it sat at the bottom just breathing. It then went into a shell and didn't come out all evening, till now it's just moved to a different shell and has got in as far as it possibly can.

I can't find much on this species in terms of behaviour, so can someone just fill me in on it, perhaps they're generally sluggish + shy... i just don't know.

Please help!

By the way... water readings are all fine, and i've used some existing filter media too. Also to get the water right, i have coral gravel and sand, together with a rock which i'm told encourages this too ?

thanks for your time.
