"Lamprologus ocellatus" is a type of shell dweller from Lake Tanganyika. It is a popular aquarium fish due to its small size, appearance, and intelligence.

Juveniles measure about 6 mm (less than .25 inches) at hatching, while adults grow up to 5 cm (2 in). They range in color from a light brownish color to a gold/yellow color. These fish, like all shell dwellers, live in snail shells. They live in colonies amongst each other and raise their young in the shells.
