cyprichromis leptosoma livua

[Bradc]

Picked up my cyps yesterday and they have settled in very well. Were abit smaller then i remembered so had to move my black calvus out of the tank for a month or 2 untill the cyps gain some size. 

Gave me a chance to measure the calvus sitting at 7 and abit cm and 6cm even. 

Was wondering what other tank mates people put with their cyps? I was originally going to go some sand sifters but im not really wanting to spend another $500 on fish for that tank. Was thinking maybe something that pair up. Something like neolamprologus mustax or leleupi. 

Any other opinions? Doesn't have to pair up either just was a thought.

Caudopunctatus or one of the Julidochromis species

I got suggested aulonocranus dewindti

I wouldnt mind a few if they aren't to aggro for the cyps.

I've kept dewindti with Cyp livua in the past with no problems.  There are lots of options though.  It really comes down to what appeals.  Have you considered a group of shellies?  They are always fun to watch.

Good to know.

Ive got a 3x18x18 that has a nice multi colony in it. Was considering swaping them to the tank but sort of like where they are at the moment. Plus i found they wouldn't breed real well in the flow and the cyp has alot of flow.
