I'm interested in Lamprologus Stappersi but I haven't found that much information on them. So I had some questions about them...

1. Can these guys be housed in a 15 gallon aquarium?
yes

2. If so how many can I fit in here? Probably just a pair I'm guessing.
no you can have 10 pairs

3. Would a pair and their fry do fine in a 15 together?
the males eat the fry (in the ocellatus group ... not in the multifasciatus group)
What if I moved the fry to a 10?
you will need to

4. Should they have about two shells or three shells per fish?
good idea

5. What is a typical price to pay for these guys?
$10 - $20 each

I would really appreciate some advice about these guys. Should I go with stapps, gold occies, or hecqui for the 15?
It does not matter

Also Is a 15 gallon to small for a pair of Hecqui?
Hecqui males get very big
