Possible tankmates for Pseudotropheus Saulosi??

[Charise]

Hey everyone.
I currently have one male and one female P. Saulosi. I originally had the male with a different (apparantly sickly) female, which died, and I went to That Fish Place/ That Pet Place to pick up a few females, but turned out they only had one.

So anyway, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can add to this tank, if anything?? I know the male's very aggressive so the selection's limited. Also, the more colorful the better

Thanks!

BTW-- both in a 55 gal

I would get about 3 more female P. Saulosi You could then add 5 (4f/1m) Metriclima estherae (OB) along with 5 (4f/1m) Pseudotropheus flavus.

pseudotropheus acei, labidochromis perlmutt, labidochromis hongi, cynotilapia afra and iodotropheus sprengerae rusty's will fit 3/F 1/M ratio you could add a couple more female saulosi as well, with these you will have a variety of colors, note: you might want to rearrange the decor when adding these guys when you do..

It has been my personal experience that Saulosi are moderate on the aggression scale for mbuna. My breeding group of saulosi are kept with a breeding group of Astatotilapia callipterus and thriving.

so true yofishboy..
cool yeah i agree and i think all mbuna are aggressive even the ones that they state aren't hehehe..

Yeah, there are no NICE Mbuna....only less aggressive and more aggressive...and I think all are aggressive if you don't have the numbers right!
