Wolf.....cobalt blue zebra.....

requires a 55 gallon tank minimum. not sure what 211 litres equates to in gallons but my guess is that it would need to be kept in a malawi/mbuna only tank on account of the high PH requirements, aggression, rocky set up etc/

just my opinion though.

EDIT: 211 litres is actually 55 gallons (US) but I still don't think Mbuna should be kept with gourami and angels for the reasons above.

you see thats exactly what I was thinking

Thanks thebaldranger, now I know s/he is talking about sick lids
something I have no clue about

I personally wouldn't keep a cichlid with those fish because of their aggression, although i don't know much about them.

Deffinately not - never mix mbuna like that zebra with south american (and peaceful) cichlids like angelfish and especialy not with dwarf gouramies! The angels and dwarfs would work though. Or you could go for just mbunas.

thanx the blue zebra is a fish is a african cichlid the latin is pseudotropheus zebra

 

[Fish00]

chiclids (mostly african one) & antibiants don't mix well I suggest a fixed reason plus 5 fish Is a waste of space for that size tank & filtration try an asian tank & sneak in a few american fish.

 

[Fish00]

I found out he left the tank with the filter running & water in it then added 2 angel fish 2 gouramies at the same time.

never listen to them people will do anything for a sale & get some more at least 3 weeks from now.

The blue zebra, the african cichlid, would end up killing everything. So its etheir community or african.

I would disagree with never, it depends if they want to keep thier customers. I have four lfs's and trust just two of them. In this case, yes they are wrong. Before going to an lfs to buy, go to look, and take note of what you like, then go home and research. Try to note scientific names of the fish you like and if they are not on the tank ask an employee, if they don't know it, find another shop.

I like to test the lfs and if they check out Ill end up comign back. Currently I have 4 lfs I trust. One really isnt local but Id go there again. Most lfs do have people knowing nothing about fish. I sen a lady sell 2 bala sharks for 1 30 gallon and said they would do fine.
