Cobalt Blue Zebra

[rickythomson]

Hey i currently have a 48 gallon tank or 182 liter and i wanted get get some cobalt blue zebra cichlids. I prob want about 4-6 and im not realy interested in getting them to breed but if i could with that many i would be great. and i dont have any rocks or stuff but i have driftwood that they can go in. so yer i was just wondering if this would work. THNX

If the 48gal isn't a 4-ft, then I'd say no. IME males can be pretty feisty, and the females/sub-dominants need the extra space to get away. And rocks (or anything else you can think of to make caves) are really important with them, again so females and sub-dominants can get away from the alpha male.

Actually, unless you have over a 75gal, I'd only keep one male.
