I have a 36” x 12” 30 gallon aquarium that is currently stocked with the following:
3 Synodontis Lucipinnis
2 Julidochromis Transcriptus
1 Altolamprologus Compressiceps
There is no indication that the Julies are a pair, as I have not seen any breeding activity. They stay out of each other’s way.
I am wondering if I have any options to add any more fish. I would love to have more activity in the tank, but understand that I may have chosen my own fate here by having a rock dweller setup. I would love to find a couple more of the Julies and try to start a colony, but they’ve been hard to find locally.
