I vote Msobos!

yeah I really like the colors on the males but getting that kind of ratio will be hard.

msobos look great! i think that the kenyis would just eventually kill eachother off over time.. i cant keep them-they just kill and beat up the other fish lol..

saulosis are also dimorphic.. less aggressive though than the msobo... but they still look great.

salousi hmmm... now theres an idea I love the way thier look. thier small and not too aggressive. Could I keep them in a space tank smaller than 55?

Yea alot of people keep saulosis in 3' foot tanks, like a 30 or 40 breeders.

Does anyone actually keep Kenyis or are they just forbidden fruit at the LFS? lol

I have a nice group in one of my 30s.

To be honest, I don't know. If I had to guess, I would say 2-3M/10-15F

They are great fish to have. They are very personable.
