or can i put them in my 29g heavy planted, plety hidding places, i have 5 blue rams, 4 tiger barbs, 3 SAE, 2 bamboo shrimp, 3 honey gouramie (sp?)??

Leleupi dosen't work with any shelldweller. They are to agressive. Leleupi are best left with other lake tang cichlids.

so will it work with my 29g? with no lake tang species? plenty of plants and caves?

I dont think it will work with those fish, Leleupi are very tempermental need to be kept with fish that can fend for them selves. The water params are way different, lake tang fish need very hard water.

my kg is 14.

but i guess your right on the other fish might not be able to fight for themselves.

thanks anyway.

Rift Lake cichlids need to be kept with species from their own Lakes. Shellies won't do too good with the them because of the aggression issue. Min tank size for them is a 20 long in my opinion, a 30 breeder would be a much better choice. Its also wise to keep several together, if you can 3 females per male, as the males are very nasty with other Lelupis.
