Billaney Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi Everyone I have got a new/2nd hand 4 foot tank and was thinking of making it into my first Cichlid tank, now i really like the Electric Yellows and Blues, if i get these what else would i be able to put in with them as i know all cichlids are not compatable .? :-? Also how many in a 4 foot tank. Thanks Guys and Girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi_man Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 i have heard tin foil barbs are good, bristle noses or rainbow fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 No experience with electric yellow or blues but I am sure someone said not to put them together. Why not search some of the cichlid sites. And i think last post is right, barbs are good with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Over here electric blues are Sciaenochromis fryeri. These will go with electric yellows, which here are Labidochromis caeruleus. Male blues can be agro, try & buy the yellows at a bigger size. I used to keep Pseudotropheus aceii , with my yellows.(when I had malawis) these are docile for a zeb & won't cross breed. Great contrast of colours. These are blue/black bodies. Caudal fins are white or yellow depending on variant. If you want to breed something different, colour wise try a member of the Protomela genus, steveni tiger, red empress, similis.... these are good with the others mentioned. Bristlenoses go good as do clown loaches. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
