Paulcha11 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hi guys, Would I have any issues mixing yellow labs, salousi, and rustys together? Let's say about 10 of each in a 600 litre display tank all around the same size? Issues could be aggression or inter breeding I'm guessing but I will have a fair amount of hiding spaces etc.CheersPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you have males or females only I do not see much of a problem. But mix will have interbreeding problems. Note I've not had any experance with salousi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 yellows and saulosi are same color so they may fight. Personally i would cut the yellows and buy quality saulosi and rusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulcha11 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks guys. I'm guessing the yellows might have to take a back seat in another tank.Cheers for your input.Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The quality of saulosi can be a bit hit or miss. There were some hybrids floating around last year and the beginning of this year. Make certain you see the parents or at least some photos. If you have any doubts post them here on ACE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulcha11 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 Yeah thanks Ged will definitely post if I am unsure. I have found some good reliable breeders on this forum which makes things a bit easier. (thanks Grant! aka parkesg)Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
