Eaglebarret Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 I have a 2ft x 16 x20 high tank. Just want to know what sort of Africans i can get into that size tank for them to breed and without them getting to big for the tank. How many should i get of each species? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burek Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 You could put some multifasciatus in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerospel Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Eaglebarret, Can you tell me where and how much u bought that size tank? cos Im looking for one myself to replace my 24x12x12 As to what to put in it, Id be planting it with some dwarf cichlids and cories or maybe even swordtails and breed them for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Zerospel, i got this tank from reef aquariums for $80.00. i'm pretty sure lams aquariums sells them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamsherman Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 $80 for a 2 footer!!! Sheeesh thats expensive!!!! Why dont you invest in some of the more rarer bristlenose cats like orange spot or peppermints. That way if and when they breed, you can make your $80 back from the purchase of the tank. And they do look pretty cool when they are visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaglebarret Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I know it was expensive but i had a leaking tank so it was the quickest way i could get one. How much a rarer bristlenose worth?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarfaze Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 someone was selling some pepermints on www.cichlidcity.com.au the other day had 2 pairs for sale at $300 a pair which is a good price i know what store your talking about where you got ur 2fter, you should have traveled and extra 20 minutes and gone into the city HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Most dwarf cichlids ie: Pelvicachromis, Nanacara etc (ie: from west africa or south america will fit into this sized tank). As far as rift lake cichlids go: Neolamprologus multifasciatus or a Julidochromis species tank would look cool also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
