ok so im pretty sure i know what i want to get, i was thinking of Pundamilia Nyererei, but there are 2 different islands i have to chose from, either Mwanza or Ruti, could anyone voice the differences? i would like a breeding colony, the tank is a 40g breeder, so i was thinking of 1 male and 4 females...but since they are so small are they too mean to have 2 male and like 6 female or is that too many? any help would be appriciated
want to order some fish, need help with which type

anyone? well even beside the island type, anyone know about how many in a tank? or just generally more info about them?
Well, they are both Pundamilia and both aggressive. To me you just need to pick which one you like the looks of better. You MAY be ok with 2m in the tank if you make sure you have enough rock work. I would go with 6 females regardless I think 8 may even be a better # as then it will spread the aggression so not just one female is getting beat up. Especially if you want to try 2 males. If you get them as smaller fry it would probably have a better chance of working. Obviously with these fish there are no guarentee's, 2 males may work for you and not someone else and vice versa.
Here is an article if you haven't already read it.
