benno Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hey as most of you all know i hope to set up a tank for either brichardi or daffodils. Ive gathered up most of the info about keeping them but i still dont know what to keep with 1 pair in a 4 foot tank. I was thinking of somthing that does not live the same as bricihardi and does will not interfere with how brichardi live. Thanx Benno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise007 Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I would have thought that something like a school of cyprochromis of some type would do okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hey elise, cyprochromis are big $$$ here in Adelaide. What about somthing like N. Transcriptus (Not sure but maybe someone can say wether they would be fine).Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 If you do add another fish I'd recommend a shell dweller.Position a rock pile at one end (for the brichardi) and a pile of shells at the other. Make sure you have plenty of shells. The advantage of shellies is that the brichardi wont fit in the shells .HTH - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno Posted December 19, 2003 Author Share Posted December 19, 2003 Yew, would it be possible if i could get some scientific names of these shell dwellers please as i have no experience whatsoever with africans this would be greatfully appreciated. Also some prices would also be of help as i live a fair way from any decent fish shops so i cant exactly go just for a browse i have to know if the shop has any of the fish i want because the closest fish shop to me that is worth calling a fish shop is about 25km away. Thanx for the replies guys Benno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
