Cichlid compatability

[aquaculture]

Would it be a good idea to house a Nandopsis Tetracanthus and a Paratilapia polleni in a 100 gallon together?

If not What would I need to do so?

And Can they be housed with a royal pleco also?

Wrong section, Royal pleco is both too big and incompatible.

L191 and I doubt this is the wrong section. It is compatibilty between a central american and madagascar cichlid and a pleco.

idk if the chiclids would mix but plecos mix with pretty much everything

i think

 

[Cichlaholics Anonymous]

the cichlids listed generally might work out fine, not taking into consideration the individual personality of the fish

Yes the pleco will outgrow the 100 gal...in 10 years, I'd worry about it then . Polleni are pretty mellow for a big cichlid, a Cuban might beat it up when it gets bigger.

Sounds alright to me, but you never really know until you try. Just make sure you have a back up plan. And also the royal will be able to live a LONG time in that tank as long as he starts out reasonably small.

I must have misread because I thought L191 get 10 inches long at most. Or I should have clarified that my 100 is 15 inches wide and 52 inches long by 30 inches tall, these measurements are of the water in the tank when the tank is full.

Hey Ill give it a try once I get my 100 fixed up this spring.
