nw1411 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi Guys, New to SC and Cichlids!.....great source of info. Question....I have a 4x2x2 with 5 Yellow Labs, 2 Rusty's, 1 N Venustas and a Cobalt Blue. I am keen to get a couple of Lab Hongi's. I have read that you shouldn't mix Labs. Does anyone have any opinions on this? Also, I am currently cycling another 4x2x2 and would like some 'different' Africans. Recommendations?

Gav Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 you can keep the fish together without a problem as long as you have a DISPLAY tank situation and not a breeding setup. make sure you don't keep any of the fry. if you want to breed them, then its definitely not recommended you keep those two species together as they WILL interbreed. I have seen many species in a DISPLAY tank happily interbreed, have all fry eaten and it works just fine. No harm done, fish get some more protein and the tank looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I Agree with Kin (Just for second oppinion), if you want some different africans you could go for some Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids, like Albino Neolamprologus Brichardi, or some Cyp Leptosoma, or some of the many other Tang species .
