Has anyone here ever tried to keep 1 of each hemichromis species in a single tank? Think it's possible?
 
The 'red jewel' species, no problem. The 5-spot varieties would be a problem but I'd never say outright that it couldn't be done.
 
I will have a 125g set up by middle of next month. I'm gonna try atleast 4 different hemichromi species. Problem is getting a hold of these dam things. I've been trying to find Frempongi for about 2 months now.
I want to add them in all at the same time vs adding them as I find them. I don't thing that would be a good idea at all. Any new fish I add would get smashed. Hoping to find them around 1.5-2"
What would you get if a elongatus paired with a frempongi? That would be a pretty crazy hybrid. I just watch a vid of a Dovii and Jaguar pair. That would also be some crazy fry.
