As in Phenacogrammus interruptus? Lovely looking fish; pretty robust; can become chunky ~10cm fish as adults to a 4-foot tank is preferrable; good schooling fish for African oddball tanks inclding Butterfly Fish/ Leopard Bushfish etc. as they are generally quite calm moving/feeding fish; best to stock 1 male to at least 2 females so I'd personally go for a group of 9 with 3 males (so the males will display their amazing colours to impress the females and challenge their rivals).

Ah IMO dont get them for the reasons of they need to on groups of 6-8+ and you dont have the sapce in 110L and they get big a few of my males are approx 9cm and growing i have a 350L and they are taking up alot of room. When you get your bigger tank sure go buy a big group they are mellow fish
