Burek Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi guys just wondering what fish from lake malawi can i breed in a 2ft, can i put a pair or colony? Or is a 2ft too small to breed anything? Btw its a standard 2fter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepperfish Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Yeah good question, Im considering setting up a 2 foot tank for something as well, Maybe dwarf cichlids.. But I really do like the africans over the American varitey.. So, can any malawi or tang cichlids even reside in a 2 footer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial-Cichlid Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Shell dwellers. Maybe N. multifasciatus, N. brevis, or L. ocellatus perhaps. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Alternatively, it would make a great grow out tank for fry which are dropping out of your other tanks I have N. multifasciatus breeding well in a 2' tank. Although I eventually plan to upgrade them and expand my colony. I don't think many Malawi fish would be suitable though unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mianos Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 South American dwarfs like microgeophagus altispinosa can be bred in 2 foots. I got mine from a guy who does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Ed Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Also Krib (Pelvicachromis pulcher) note the photo is not a 2ft tank. Or you could breed bristlenose. you could try convicts too, but there could be dead fish very quickly. I have read that fish taken out of a big tank and stuck in a small one won't breed, just a thought. HTH Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
