Hi CM, just had a look at your web site and saw some very nice fish, in particular

Blue Dolphin
Mozambique
Gombi

How big do these grow? And are they ok with betta's, tetra's, clown loaches, Indian glassfish and Dwarf Corydoras and an aquatic frog?

Hi CCL,
thanks for visiting my site. Wish I had better news for you though.

Crytocara morrii aka blue dolphin
size: up to 10" for the males slightly smaller for the females
Origin: Lake Malawi
Ph: 7.6 - 8.3

Aulonocara sp. Mozambique
Size: Males to 4.5"-5" Females 3.5" - 4"
Origin: Lake Malawi
Ph: 7.6 - 8.3

Julidochromis transcriptus "Gombi" (Gombi denotes the location in the lake it is found and collected)
Size: Males to 4" Females 3"+
Origin: Lake Tanganyika
Ph: In the lake 9.0 in aquaria 7.6 and up

I am sorry to say given these facts on the fish they would not be suitable for your current inhabitants.

Master, how much room do the Aulonocaras need?

 

[cichlidmaster]

I have kept small groups in a 30 gallon tank. 36" x 12" x 16".

It would also depend on the species. Some Aulonocara can get 5" -6" while others stay at the 4"-4.5" range.

1M/2F would work in the above tank.

Ideally though a 55 gallon would be better.
