Zebbedy Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Hi everyone, pretty straight forward question here. I've done some research and am planning on putting together a tank with a pair of brichardi and a pair of multies, tank is around 50 gallons or 180 litres. Just wondering if anyone else here has done similair and has any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamgatt Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 What's the dimensions/footprint of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamgatt Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Nice. I don't think you will have a problem then. Put a small rock pile on one end for the brichardi, and a shell bed on the other side with open space in between and I reckon they will be fine. If the brichardi are older / much larger than the multis I'd probably release them first and let them get comfortable on the shell bed before putting the brichardi in.

adamgatt Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Great choice by the way. Those are the 2 first species of cichlid I kept and don't plan on getting rid of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juna Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi there, I was wondering something very similar. I've currently got a 130L shell dweller tank cycling, I have fine sand substrate, some holey rock at one end and the rest will be shells. I want to get a little colony of Multis going, but wondered whether I could keep either a couple of Juli or brichardi in the rocks, or some paracyprichromis up top. Would these prevent the Multis from breeding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
