jackp Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 185l is quite small for an african tank. what are the dimensions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuri08 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 depending on size of tank say 3 foot then maybe yellows and some smaller mbuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I always thought they were a congo river species , and not a great lake species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I always thought they were a congo river species , and not a great lake species Correct. tend to prefer faster currents and less basic water. They do well with most mid water cichlids (they are great with many south americans as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris H Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Tank is 1meter long by 40cm high and 50 cm deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 That is a very nice tank size... :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 they are from the congo rivers and are commonly kept with africans, they did very well when i kept them. they are noted as being in PH from 6.0 to 8.0 so that is probably why they do well, that and they are fiesty when it comes to large tank mates. http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
