Formerly: Catfish Are Cool
Hi, i am hopefully getting a 48" long x 12" wide x 15" high 30gallon tank with a fluval 204 external filter, a fluval 2+ internal filter, lighting and heater.
the guy i am hopefully buying off also has some malawi chichlids that i could get that come with it(obviously not all of them):
4 x Metriaclima Estherae (Red Zebra), all no less than 3-4" long
1 x Labidochromis Caeruleus (Yellow Lab) Dominant male, 3-4" long
2 x Melanochromis Johannii, Male & female (i think) both 3" long
1 x Melanchromis Auratus, Male, 4" long
2 x Haplochromis Obliquidens, Male & Female, both 4" long
1 x Nimbochromis Venustus (Giraffe Cichlid)
2 x Pseudothopheus Acei, one is 3" long, the other is about 2.5" long
2 x Other. Sold to me as Acei but they're not. Lovely bluey fish with a distinct white edge to their fins
About 15 x Auratus Juvies, all at least 1" in length.
2 x Pimelodus Pictus, both at over 4" long.
i am not too keen on the Metriaclima Estherae because of their (14cm) size or colourations. the Haplochromis Obliquidens are also not something that i want to keep because they are haps and prefer to be with smaller malawis/haps. the Nimbochromis Venustus is another hap that i would not be happy about keeping because of its sometimes aggressive nature and ambushing tequniques.they also get 8-10 inches long. the 15 Auratus Juvies would probably be sold, but i would like to keep a couple (if possable). the male Melanchromis Auratus seems like the biggest problem, from what ive read the males are highly aggressive and may take alot of territory.
i would love to keep some of these fish, if you know that some of these fish are often problem fish, please let me know, and i would also like to know if these fish are compatable.
thanks, mikey
