So around the 30 fish mark. Ok gives me somewhere to aim for at least! It's been really hard trying to get the right fish! Plus I get attached and don't want to move any on! My male phenochilus has started to mature and has some spangles he's looking good! Ill try and post some pics Posted via Mobile Device
I also forgot that I've got 5 chilotilapia rhoadesii on order from months ago, would they fit in or should I swap them for something else? Posted via Mobile Device
I would swap them for something else, they prefer muddy bottoms and get to 13", requiring a 180g tank.
They are extremely hard to find in the hobby and rarely come up. With what you have I would not add anything else until the fish mature and you know how they are behaving with each other.
Oh that's a shame. I must admit I didn't research them much before I placed the order, I'd never seen them before and got too excited!! I've got one little guy at the moment but apparently they oversold their stock and the other 5 are on back order I guess until the next shipment.
What do u think of Melanochromis Joanjohnsonae (pearl of likoma I think it's called?) instead? Saw some of these in my lfs and they had this stunning metallic sheen almost like a sparkle to them, really pretty Posted via Mobile Device
They have been renamed Labidochromis joanjohnsonae, and as such sorry but no, they are mildly aggressive but like the Tropheus hate each other with a passion.
I would not add them with the yellow labs as I mentioned before about mixing the same genus.
