Pseudotropheus Socolofi & Placidochromis Electra

[Tiger Tiger]

My 180 litre is almost ready and i like the two above with a Synodontis Eupterus .
probably have to keep 3 or 4 of them.

Would they be OK

I would say no.

First the socolofi is classified as a herbivore eating veggie material.
Second, the electra is classified as a carnivore eating moslty meaty material.

The diets vary so much that I'd hesitate. It'd be different if one was a carnivore and the other an omnivore(eats plant and meat material). In this case it's hard to feed both species. If mbuna get to much meat then they can develop bloat which is mostly fatal. If you feed toward the socolofi's needs then the electra potentially isn't getting what it needs.
