Hey guys I have a 45G tank im setting up and I was wondering what your experiences have been keeping these together. I know Leleupis are aggresive towards each other but what about towards Calvus'? The tank has a 36x12 footprint and will have lots of rocks/caves.

I currently keep 7 Calvus and 6 Lelupi in a 120gal along with other Tangs my Calvus really don't take too much crap from anyone in this tank..

With that size of tank and plenty of rock space shouldn't be an issue.. Just as mike said the Calvus are excellent fry eaters..

Mine aren't...

I have about 150 babies in my cichlid tank right now.

I must have some sort of rare vegitarian calvus, they tear into my spirlina flake and leave the babies alone.

Watch out for a Leleupi pair forming, they can be tough parents.
