Variety of Lamprologus Ocellatus...I find they have the most character of any shell dweller.  Very nice fish.

I don't know anything about this fish I searched the net the day I got it and thought it was a Lamprologus Ocellatus but wasn't 100%. Is it normal that it has no interest in the shells? I've ended up getting 3 different shells but no interest. He looks well and eats.
 
looks like a lamprologus stappersi. might need a chance to settle in. whats shells have you got?
 
Ok a little snail shell that I got with the fish, it's small the fish can only get half way in it when he was in the bag on way home from lfs. Hasn't looked at it since. I also have 2 other shells ( see pic) the left one is a fake I think, it has a large opening. The one on the right is real, it was my great granmothers so probably over 100yrs old. It's a ocean snail I think. It's large but has a long narrow opening. I've had the fish and shells a couple of months
