Any advice on how my Demasoni and Auratus will be long term? I have heard they are 2 of the most aggressive cichlids around.....although people do love to exaggerate
The convict is a baby I was given...i stuck him in and shes fine...will keep a eye out and put it in another tank if it gets picked on to much.....the Female kribensis is still in there from my old New World tank...never can catch her as she hides in the rocks...so again will keep a close eye.
Of the other non Mbunas....the Clown Loaches fit in fine and actually bug the Mbuna swimming with them all the time the Bristlenose...although not in its native PH/hardness seems to be happy and growing well (extremley fast!) and the Jewel cichlid i plan to get is for a little bit of red in the tank...it seems these are commonly kept with Mbuna but again will be under a watchful eye with another tank set up incase of anything bad.
What do you think of my wanted list and my current Mbuna mix?
Dont give me to much of a hard tiem about the non Mbunas...i do know its not normal to keep them with Mbuna and they come from different enviroments....they are being watched closely....they dont even interact with my Mbuna in anyway and there is a tank in my garage ready to be set up if a problem should arise.
