Saroon Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hey everyone!I'm at the end of stocking my 4x2x2, an looking at it all now what I think it needs is a big boy cruising around. I was just wondering what you guys would recommend for a large solitary male of about 8inches+ that's kinda placid enough to be happy in a mbuna community. My tank is lacking a lil red...Thanks heapsJosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firthy13 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 yeh i would go a big copadichromis borleyi red kadango aswell. very peaceful and will not try and hunt your small mbuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Another vote for C. borleyi (Kadango) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 C. borleyi (Kadango) or maybe a red empress (protomeles taeniolatus) (red)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiem Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Peacock wise why not a rostratum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Peacock wise why not a rostratum For the peacock group a nice choice. Another Hap possibility is Chilotilapia rhoadesii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Personally I'd get my hand on some decent Alonocara Kandeesis. Have seen some sourced from Germany that were awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
