Oh cool.. Thankyou

Now how do you think thatll do with labs and a socolofi? Doesnt look good...

Birchardi are from a different lake and not recommended to keep with mbuna like labs and socolofi. However, they are generally peaceful unless spawning. When they spawn they would take over an entire tank and defend all the fry, often killing tankmates.

Definitely a Neolamprologus brichardi not even remotely close to a Rusty :-/ They typically should not be mixed with the fish you have. I would return the fish, go to a different store and buy a fish from someone who knows what they are talking about.

Oh well live and learn! It's always a good idea to research and look at lots of pictures of the fish you intend to buy so that way you're not blindly buying a fish or trusting the word of someone at the LFS that your buying the correct fish.
