ctaylor Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 My list is pretty similar to Chris's, the Aulonacara Fort Maguire sure does look a lot like Aulonacara Ngara, out of interest sevieri are they all getting along in the same tank? You have some beautiful fish there, love the Lat Crimson Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevieri Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 they all getting along in the same tank? Thanks ... Yeah surprisingly enough they all seem to coexist very well ... They have their moments but no damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry_2_buy Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Wouldn't worry too much about co-existences too much, especially if you overstock your tank... although I have seem to find minimal agression to conspecific species with agression between some males; this is one of the species however that I do not have many females for which also plays a role in overall agression.
