tanganyika Tank Ideas

[andy1985]

Hi i am about to set up a new 72" 24"H 36" W tank.

i want a group of 8 Frontosa. and have group of 7 Featherfins going to transfter into the tank.

can you recomend any other tanganyika to put with them.

 

[swk]

Benthochromis or Haplotaxodon microlepsis would be nice IMO, depending on what kind of featherfins you're planning on adding. I kept comps and calvus, along with lepidiolamprologus kendalli with some adult fronts years ago

I have Ventrails Featherfins

I have kept comps and calvus with my fronts and some larger cyps and also kept some small cats.

 

[andy1985]

What would be the smallest fish size u would keep with adult frontosa?

 

[mike dunagan]

wow great question, I have heard of full grown trying to eat full grown calvus

 

[andy1985]

WoW i would have thought any thing bigger then 4" would have been to big.

Altolamprologus compressiceps

The Ventralis will be too agressive from my experiences and they will not eat anything small such as comps unless you don't feed them at all. I have 3 lelupis and they are still in there doing fine. I have Benthos and they are a great combo with eachother.
