African/other cichlids

[Coler]

yup I think you can have the labs instead of the brichardi with no issues.

Kribensis do come from africa but thats about the only thing they have in comon with the cichlids of lakes Malawi,Victoria and Tanganyika. They can be aggressive when breeding but this aggression is compaired to that normally seen in a comunity tank and not the aggresion seen in a malawi tank. if you put them in with african cichlids from the lakes they will get ripped to shreads.

Not good at all:thumbsdown: Steve.

sorry for my mistake thought u was keeping different fish for sum reason kribs are bad news in that tank:thumbsdown:

Alrighty - I'll probably end up going with the stocking list that Coler mentioned, switching the syno cats for rainbowfish...

Tell me if this is ok (or if I can add more or if this is too much):

2 pairs - lamprologus ocellatus (2" each)
4 pairs - neo brevis (2" each)
2 pairs juli. ornatus (3" each)
4 pairs yellow labs
6 - 4" rainbowfish


Thanks so much for all your help!

Occies are quite mean. I would not keep them with brevis. From what I know 2 species of shelldwellers usually don't work well together in a tank, but I have read about some people who have done it.

You will have to keep two well seperated piles of shells in the tank. I wouldn't choose occies as one of the species.
