Priscacara Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 From my experience with the lionheads they should do fine. I just looked up he chromides and as their parameters should be ok for both. I have kept lionheads in with Africans, ph around 8.3 and hard water but when I had a pair I was breeding for a while and they were in ph 7 to 7.3, very soft water so they tolerate a wide range of conditions. As to aggression I didnt have too much hassle with them at all , the breeders were in with tetras and bristlenose cats and the only agressive thing they did was to keep them clear of the eggs and young. I have my original male in with my frontosas, dolphins etc and he is high on the pecking order so they will stand up for themselves without being too much of a bully.

Andrew Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hey fisshy, Have you actually seen Orange Chromides available lately? I ask because I haven't seen them around for a long time! Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mean Bayfish and you need to be a retailer (which Im not) or have a good relationship with your LFS to check out the list. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbin4 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) If someone is getting Orange chromides it maybe good to say on here as its not easy to get them. You should get a few breeders that would take some. I would be intrested. Edited May 26, 2010 by dobbin4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
