Here ya go:

2 - Dwarf Sumbu

2 - White Kapemba calvus

Either one or the other. My suggestion would be the Sumbu due to their smaller adult size.

2 - N. Toae - Good choice. I did a little more reading on this species. It's adult size stays small and is not overly aggressive.

The C. macrops is a nice choice, however these do best again in groups to feel comfortable and to spread out aggression. Yes!! They can and do get aggressive. I have had these on several occassions and have seen the aggression first hand.

As for the tretocephalus...one word...FORGET IT. OK so that was two words.

They attain a size of 6"+ and are highly aggressive.

Hope this news wasn't to bad. At least I didn't shoot down all your choices.

now the question is,which of those on my list do you currently have in stock?

 

[mostanks]

this was labeled t.bifrinatus(sp?) not c.bifrinatus,are they the same fish and tagged wrong or what??

sam,
Actually Telmatochromis bifrenatus is a seperate species from Chalinochromis bifrenatus.

They are similar in body shape and temperament. Since you have seen the pic of T. bifrenatus and like them I would go with those.

I have kept and bred T. bifrinatus and can tell you they are a very interesting fish.

Good thing you have plenty of shells. All the fish you are looking at use them for breeding.
