Hi guys,

I am setting up new Tanganyikan tanks. 55, 57 and 180 gals. Here's what I've ordered / will be ordering :

1. Brichardi - princess of burundi

2. N. leleupi,

3. N. Sexfaciatus,

4. T. duboisi,

5. Julidochromis of various kinds.

6. A.Calvus Black... thats a maybe, if I get it.


Which of the above should be kept together ? Numbers ?

Would appreciate your views.


Thanks,

Nishant.

i pretty much have everything you just mentioned in my tank. with a couple of exceptions. i was always sceptical when wanting to purchase Duboisi's. i hear they can be pretty teritorial, and also doesnt there diets conflict with the others<--not sure. anyway if the black calvus doesnt pan out, try a gold comp. they are very cool fish. check out my picture albums on my home page, i have pics of all my fish. the only fighting i have in mytank is the frontosa, everyone else is happy to be there.
this is what i have in my 75:
-frontosa
-black calvus
-leleupi
-transcriptus
-tetracanthus
-gold comp
-black comp
i think i might be overstocked hahaha

I would make a species only tank for the Brichardi since you are setting up 3 tanks. You could also keep a single fish in the rest of your tanks.

I have had success keeping Brichardi and N.Lelelupi together without a single problem.

Looking forward to seeing the tanks once they are stocked and running!

How about a picture of your jardini when you post the other pictures. I would love to have one again!
