possible new fish.

hey guys I know that you all know that I have 3 aulonocara maisoni, I was shopping around and I found 10 f1 aulonocara kandeensis for 40 dollars I was wndering if there would be the possibility of cross breeding? and I want to get something more for my 75 gallon as it is looking breety empty these days

 

[cichlidpersonality]

they almost definitely will crossbreed, if you want more than 1 species of peacock in 1 tank you need to have all males, the females look almost exactly the same so you dont want to mix them. i would suggest some E-yellows, perlmutts, auratus, pseudotropheus (maybe elongatus or saulosi), or most other mbuna will do ok with aulonocara.

Mbuna are pretty nippy though.........

I really havn't had that much trouble as far as nippiness....
but here is the final list


2 female Labidochromis Caereuls
2 female aulonocara Maisoni
6 P. Demasoni 2 males 4 females
