How big of a tank would I need to have to have this bunch of fish?
A pair of Labidochromis caeruleus Labidochromis_caeruleus "yellow" (wonderful yellow color), Malawi One male and two females of Sciaenochromis ahli Sciaenochromis_ahli (blue), Malawi One male and two females of an (not too big growing) Haplochromis or Aulonocara species, like Aulonocara eureka (Malawi) or a Victorian Haplochromis species. Only one Haplochromis or Aulonocara species - not two Haplochromis, not two Aulonocara, not one Haplochromis and one Aulonocara - big danger of crossbreeding! One pair of a Neolamprologus species, like Neolamprologus brichardi Neolamprologus_brichardi What would you think about this combination and what kinda of set up? Any of help would be much appreciated as usual. Thanks |

![]() It is not a good idea to be mixing Rift lake fish. Stick to one Biotope. Your tank will be much more of a success that way. However, seeing as no-one listens to that advice I would say at a minimum get yourself a 4 foot tank. The bigger the better. LOTS AND LOTS of rockwork making plenty of nooks &crannies for hidey places. That is all. -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** "Christy84065" wrote in message om...
