Cichlid_Boy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So I currently have a 'spare' 3 footer, was thinking of keeping/breeding something interesting. Obviously a small-med cichlid in that sized tank, say a trio or small colony.I'm leaning towards a Tanganiyikan, I'd like some C. pleurospilus but they don't seem to be avail at the moment.Any suggestions? Something interesting that won't break the bank but isn't too common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cichlid_Boy Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have a male of each of the dewindte and hippo point in my display tank, nice fish. Intangcity I've kept pleuros before, I don't think they get any bigger than 10cm either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If you want something interesting get some Neo. Multies. I have kept them many times over the years. Watch them move gavel and arrange their shells is so amazing. They don't eat their fry. Once they settle they will breed regularly and you can watch the fry grow.

yanke Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 yes Multies are good I started with a pair in a 2ft and end up with 75 in a 2ft then I sold them off and keeped a pair and started all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
