Does anyone have experience with this little West African cichlid? I've been growing out a couple small ones that I got. They're about 1.5" or so now. Their water parameters are similar to South American cichlids but they seem to prefer temps in the low to mid 70s according to what little info I've found online. Does anyone know what their max temp would be?
I ask because I've considered putting them in a 55 gallon grow-out with my Dicrossus foirni. The foirni are slightly larger so I don't think aggression would be an issue. Neither species seems aggressive. I do have a problem with the lucanusi chasing each other all over their current tank so I thought the tank size upgrade would be a good idea.
Suggestions? Foreseeable problems? I'm kind of learning with these guys as I go. I was told to treat them like kribs but I know that some people have said they're a bit more sensitive than that.
