The Conversion Has Begun...

[Maximus]

Wow, sorry about the late reply, I forgot

Just a quick note, mine are true fw flouders, I was just wondering if they would get eaten or not, But
I'm not gonna risk it.

And yes, fishfishfish, I got myself 3 synos

I'm unsure of their sp. at the moment, but I'll get a scientific name for you, prob at the weekend


I'm planning on getting some more rockwork too. I think my tanks really coming along now, any thoughts or suggestions people?



Cheers,

Maximus

Hey guys, Just a quick question;

Melanochromis johannii, in my tank or not?

Remembering I have a demasoni in there



Cheers,

Maximus

Dont mess about with johanni get cynearhabdos (maingano) looks the same but not as aggressive.

 

[Maximus]

Cheers for that mark

Oh!, by the way, I was looking through the CF database, and finally found out what my hybrids are.

Labidochromis sp. "Perlmutt"

This is exactly what they are

Hey there people,

I ordered in the johanni, but I havent got any yet.

I still dont know If they'll be a problem with my demasoni in there.
Do you think it'll be alright if I got 1 male and 2/3 females to keep him occupied ?


Thanks in advance

Bump

I would stick with a single Demasoni - adding females is likely to complicate things and could make the aggression worse. Johanni and Demasoni is a risky mix to be honest - too similar in body shape and colouration IME.

Damn, thought so

At least I asked first B)


I got to thinking the other day, because my tank has a few fish that arent "advisable" to go together (the haps) I was considering
returning all my fish, in a trade for demasonis'. I was thinking how good a tank would look with 15 demasoni's and 15 yellow
labs 8)

But I doubt it would work, or I will do it lol.

What do you think ferris?


Cheers for the help mate

This will surprise you - Labs and Demasoni work very well together despite being at opposite ends of the aggression scale. IMO it is probably the best way to keep Demasoni aside from a species only tank.

If that's what you fancy - i'd say go for it.

P.S - Don't forget the pics because it makes for a stunning display tank.

You've just gone and done it again....

This might just have to happen...

It might be a couple of weeks, but it might just happen...

(because I carn't drive )

15 of each might be a bit over the top, even in a 100 gal - 12 would be a better number IMO. You can always add more later if there is room.

Keep us posted on what you decide and don't forget those pics.

I like the number 12, I don't know why I was just using 15 as an example

The last batch of labs we recieved wasn't the best, so I'll have to get another in.


I'll keep you posted.


P.s The "trade" will happen before the added rock, for catching reasons...


Thanks again,

Maximus
