fishtraderlau Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'm certainly not doing it at the moment, but what would people's honest thoughts be on the compatability of keeping ps. demasoni and lab. hongi in a tank together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksta Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I have 6 demasoni at 5-6.5cm in a 4x2 with a colony (6 adult, 6 sub adult) of yellows, and the demasoni seem pretty subdued in this set up. When I had them in quarantine (2'x2') they were much more fiesty but they were alone, with not as much structure as this tank has. ps. My demasoni seem to have a wickid growth rate compared to other mbuna, and they are smaller in total size. I find this odd, but good in that they are breeding size now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtraderlau Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hey Aline, Thanks a lot for the sale in the 1st place more like it- i'll send you an email. As for the demasoni and hongi- only 2 posts really saying it's ok so i might give it a go this weekend and monitor for a couple of days. The tank is a 4x18x18, only 6 demasoni it in so far, heavy rocked so heaps of structure and hiding places for sure- all to make sure demasoni were going to be ok! if i could get the two in together, boy oh boy it would be a beautiful tank indeed. Cheers, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rol&Jas Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi Andrew, The demasoni and hongis should go together well. It is true that the demasonis are very aggressive, but the hongis can stand their own pretty well. Eventhough, that the hongis are in the same family as the electric yellows the hongis are not pacific at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cichlids_au Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Andrew If you are going to add one to anthers tank I would also suggest that you pull all the inhabitants out and rearrange the rock work so that they all have to establish themselves in the new environment. Trying to introduce one group to a tank where the other group is established is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
