My tangs are in aragonite and they have been doing well. I setup to shell fields on either side of my center small reef in my 120 and they are sharing fine... my calvus swim eveywhere but I have two diff julies. they share the same rock/ shell area well... surprising too
just thought I would chime in on the aragonite with my experience...
ps ash thanks for all the peacock ideas... I put them with my tangs in my 120 show tank and things have been great... moved to a omega 1 and nls mix to feed everyone... I will post pic in a few days... remember they are all still little, just starting to color up some... so be kind when it comes...
Never used aragonite so I had no idea thanks for the add-in =)mike dunagan;650032;650032 said:
I am glad the peacocks worked out well!! they do mix in well with a tang tank. (or they did great for me anyways). You food should really help bring out the colors =) I cant wait to see pics it sounds like you have an awesome tank going!!
wow what a thread! Just found it. There's a lot of good info in here keep up the good work! Hey Ash, I was just wondering about those Paratilapia Bleekeri you did, they might be a little agressive and you said something about the Paratilapia Polleni being a little less agressive could you do them next the Bleekeri are some really cool lookin fish.
Ash what would be a good mnuba for companions with a P. demasoni colony? it is not yewt setup but it will be in a 55gal! so i would like one other species to have in the with the desamoni colony! Something colorful and that would get to 5-6in! also being able to keepits own with the demasoni!
i was thinking peacocks but others said the demasoni would kill the peacocks!

Sorry took so long to reply back, They can be agressive fish and it is best not to keep other fish of the same color with them, but as far as them killing peacocks, I think it depends. With a colony it may differ because there are more of them. I have one and I have him with 3 peacocks 2 fronts, 2 bumble bee cat fish, a datnoid and a green terror and they all get along fine. This is only a temperaroy set up, becuase one of the tanks is currently down. The fronts and peacocks are his true tank mates though and they get along fine, they all chase one another but not real fighting. I would suggest any mbuna that grows about the same size, most of them are going to be agressive anyway, just try to differ your colors and try to keep away from blue. It really just depends on what you like. Its just pretty much a trial and error type of thing, see what works. You can post up for some other opinons though.
I have a 55gallon fish tank i was thinking of putting up electric yellow and blues.Would they be compatible of each other or just purchase a whole group of yellow or blue??also i was thinking of puttinh in 1 venustus in the mix of the yellow or blues would that work??any help or advice would be appreciated.thanks everyone..
