I picked up a few Neolamprologus Mondabu. I have never seen or heard of these guys but they are kinda ugly in a good way.
They seem pretty aggressive and settled in very quickly.
I have tried to do research on them but there is very limited info about them online.
I will take pics of them tomorrow or so.
My question is has anyone here owned these before or know much about them?

They wont let me get a pic of them but this is exactly what they look like.. Mine are just over an inch long though. From what I can find they get more silver looking as they age and get a blue stripe down from their eye and on edges of fins. They get about 4.5" grown. Attachments:

They are just barely over a inch right now. They are VERY aggressive eaters. They are chasing fish twice their size away when its time to eat.

update on these guys. they are growing fast and are about 1.5" now and have turned from dark brown to silver with some yellow and blue's. They are very strange as they not only burrow under rocks but actually make tunnels beneath the sand. I had worried cause I couldn't find one and found it buried in the sand. the tunnel was similar to like the way a mole burrows. The top of the sand looks different as in they build it up deeper where they have their homes and if you spook one they will go into the hole and can come out of any number of other holes even across the tank.
