intern1 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sounds good they are both different species so that reduces the risk of hybridization also the tank is a good size just have some good cover and hissing spots and all should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloory Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Sounds fine to me mate. Dubs are the fish of choice by most T keepers to mix with another type because they won't interbreed. Would love to see some pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern1 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 you could also use a black species ikola kariza bemba ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I would steer clear of black species.You actually increase your risk of hybridization if you keep two species in one tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithoMan Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just get yourself Some nice electric yellows to reduce the aggressionAnd no cross breeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GundamCichlid Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I have been informed only duboisi can be kept in the same tank with other tropheus variant.I have keep yellow in my tropheus tank and have moliro with red empress together too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloory Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah I've heard black species will still cross. That why its safer with dubs. In saying that, I have no proof personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
