can i keep african with loaches and catfish?
what substrate do they usually prefer?

 

[mike dunagan]

Africans for the most part love sand!

or tiny gravel

You should be able to keep them with some types of loaches and I keep synodontis catfish in with my africans.

 

[davescube]

possible to keep a variety of african?

 

[jhutch]

depends what africans you are thinking of. There are some that are extremely agressive and some that are mild. Peacocks, mbuna, or haps?

 

[mike dunagan]

tangs? vics? too?

 

[TheFanatic]

I keep mainly peacocks and haps but I have a couple Tangs and Vics as well. I have 4 S. Multipunk, 2 S. Petricolor and 3 Clown Loaches. All are doing just fine...

Cats and loaches will work w/ACs.
