Hi All,

Looking at setting up a new tank when i move house in a few weeks.

Some fish that have really caught my eye in a shop are labelled as Protomelas insignis... but ive read that these arent really available in the hobby (?) and are more likely to be Protomelas sp. "Spilontus Tanzania". The guy there seems to know his stuff but perhaps hasnt kept up with constant reclassifications etc!

Would a trio of these (1M2F) go okay in the 55G (122 x 36 x 46)? Won't have any other cichlids in there, perhaps just a catfish or two.

Cheers,

Shaun
 
Sorry about the poor photos, but do you think these are sp. spilontus tanzania?
