Would these do well in hard akaline water? I have a 55g I am cycling with some of my cutteri fry. I planned to use it for African Cichlids (Tangs), so I used sand designed for Rift Lake aquariums as the substrate, it is supposed to jack up the pH. I'm thinking about ordering about a half dozen of these parachromis to grow out in this aquarium, but I want to keep the substrate.
But I also have my eye on a breeding pair of Lepidiolamprologus kendallis for sale online, the would be stunning in there. Or instead of that I could put my cylindricus in there and start a Tang community. Hmm, tough decisions. But I love the look of these Parachromis.
