Gold Ocellatus

The gold lamprologus ocellatus cichlid is one of the most desired and hard to find shell dwellers among enthusiasts. These are tough to find and harder to breed, so they are a bit more expensive than the brevis or hecqui shell dweller cichlids. Like the other shell dweller, gold ocellatus love to share their shell with females but will fight with other males to keep their shell to themselves. Shell dwellers are hardy and great additions to community tanks and peaceful cichlid tanks. These small fish love their shells so try to keep a few in the aquarium that are light weight and not too large for them to manipulate but large enough for them to get into.

We guarantee live arrival. This will cover any issues with shipping that might impair the health of the fish.

We do not guarantee fish beyond one week of the day of arrival. Please research the requirements for each fish to ensure a suitable environment, food, and compatible tank mates.Water quality, incompatibility with the fish tank, diet, or other challenges of the hobby are the responsibility of the hobbyist.

A World of Fish is opposed to the gimmick of extremely long guarantees offered by a few online stores and we feel this practice will promote careless fish care. For the good of the hobby we offer lower prices and a reasonable guarantee.

We ship hundreds of boxes each week and our DOA (dead on arrival) record is excellent, but nature will be nature and not all boxes are delivered with perfection.

In the rare event of a loss, please contact our Customer Support Department when the fish arrive. To file a DOA claim, follow the steps below:

1) Upon arrival, please send a photo (less than 5MB) of the lost specimen to: support@lightaquatics.store No videos can be accepted.

2) Please include "DOA", your Order Number in the subject line. (Example DOA #1234). In the body of the email, include your name and item name with quantity of deceased specimens.

Once we receive a valid claim, we will refund you for the value of the fish in full within 5 business days.
