my front is only about 2.5 inches long and he is always slow to eat. do you think the shellies will be able to keep up with my fronts slow growth?

not for long, the front will make a meal of any shell dwellers...

can anyone ID the ones that are fighting? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Rc8xP03B4
those would be some nice fish to have. not too into the tiny transparent tangs with little color patterns.

why not some tropheus??? ikola's, chimba's or bulu pint for example, beautiful colors and attitude.

what size is this tank, and if you do trophs you will need a group... 13 is a magic number I have seen

its a 30 gallon and i think im not adding anymore fish. i bought myself a new calvus and compressiceps.
plus tropheus would need a different diet than my mbuna and calvus i think.

my tank is almost stepping over the line of overstock with fry growing up and my auratus holding.

Keep us updated on how the comps and calvus do with mbuna...

theyre doing great with the rest of the fish being that theyre half the size and can stay in any part of the tank they want. my slightly larger compressiceps picks on my calvus and makes him stay at the top of the tank. he can even go into the territory of my auratus and stay there.

i just put my magnet cleaner at the mid section where my calvus can sit on. but overall nothing bad. they eat w/o hesitation.

that could stress that little guy to death...
