What can I join to this cichlid reservoir?
I am planning on selling my fish from my South american tank and turning it into an african. I was thinking:
2x Red Jewel Cichlids
2x Electric yellows
2x Electric Blue Johannis
1x Bristlenose Pleco
(MAYBE)2x Kribensis
Suggestions?
Don't put Krib with them cos Krib would not last long. They r non aggressive fish. U better sour have 1 rather than pair otherwise they will skirmish each other.
I don't see anything wrong with that index of species really other then if these are male/female pairs and they start mating, that might become a big issue. As everyone have said, hard to say if you should turn with that many or not without knowing your container footprint. Make sure that you adjust your water chemistry to Malawi standards. The only group on in that that doesn't need this are the Kribs, so they might be the species to leave out, especially considering, this is the with the sole purpose substrate/egg layer of this group of Africans.
depends on how big your cistern is
How large is the tank?
Answers: yes...just don't overcrowd them.and cichlids,particularly africans are agressive,that's why they suggest to put many hiding places.
