This aquascape recreates the natural rock–sand interface habitat of Neolamprologus kungweensis found along the northern shores of Lake Tanganyika, where steep, weathered limestone formations transition into open sandy flats. The layout features a stable, multi-layered cave structure formed from irregular carbonate rocks, providing deep crevices, shaded pockets, and overhangs identical to the species’ preferred spawning and territorial shelters. The surrounding substrate consists of fine pale aragonitic sand, naturally arranged into gentle slopes and open patches where males display, dig, and establish territory boundaries. Scattered larger shells are positioned near, but not inside, the primary rock structure—accurately reflecting the way empty snail shells accumulate in nature and serve as secondary refuges for females, subdominant individuals, and fry. A minimal selection of hardy, rock-attached plants (Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Java Fern) mimics the periphyton and algal growth commonly found on submerged stones in shallow Tanganyikan shores. The final composition blends ecological function with natural aesthetics, creating an authentic micro-biotope where N. kungweensis can exhibit their full repertoire of natural behaviours, including courtship, digging, territorial guarding, and fry rearing.
