I'd like to know more about them, I know they belong to the cichlids family, right now I have them in a 20 gallon tank but this morning I saw at least 30 little ones soon they are gonna need a bigger tank and I have a 120 gallon tank with discus and tetras, I wonder if I can put some babies when they grow to my discus tank. Here some pics

It looks like neolamprologus brichardi. They're from lake tangyankia. They like a High pH and hard water. I'm not a cichlid expert so don't hold me to that ;)
 
Those guys are very aggressive, especially during breeding. many times they are kept in a species tank. I would not suggest putting them in with any other fish not from Lake Tanganyika, especially discus. Discus like a lower pH right?
