scaley Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I have some p.s.salousi and Bristle nose with my Blues and Yellows. As I have a large dominant Male Yellow I have 3 females for him, they seem to get along real fine. Since large male Salousi has been in there (12 months) he is starting to dominate the tank. I know some may disagree with this but I also have a number of Peacocks in there and for a few years now they have been together and given me much pleasure, I have had no dramas at all. All my fish are full of colour and are breeding as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcher Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Hi Meredith, First, what kind of tank do you want it to be, Display only or general where breeding may occur? Both the fish you've mentioned are reasonably placid, so the range you could put with is wide. The E yellow is Mbuna and the E blue is a Hap so you have a leg each side of the fence at the moment. What fish did you have in mind? glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katanaone Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 i don't know what others would say about this but one of my mates has a great looking display tank with yellows, blues, jewels(red forrest) and some albino zebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcher Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Well, OK, here is my 10cents worth, As far as M to F ratio goes, 1M to 3F is usually good as it keeps the male from picking on one female, the down side to this is you usually have 1 nice coloured up fish and 3 basic. So for a display/breeding tank try 1M-2F. Don't forget you can get males only of some species, and forget about breeding those types. The E yellow is an exception to the rule here, both are coloured. Now, my suggestions: Copadichromis Borleyi (Kadango's) Placidochromis Electra Otopharynx Lithobates (Red Top) Maylandia Callainos (cobalt blue) Labidochromis Spec. (Hongie) and don't forget cleaners, Bristlenose cats, basic but very efficient. These fish in my experience get along fairly well and it's a nice mix of colour, but that's just my opinion. cheers glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
