Enantiopus Melanogenys :love:

[bethesdaboy]

We will see Quoc.
I think I am gonna pass on the Cunningtonia and Boulengerochromis.
Although one of those beasty Boulengerochromis would be cool in a couple of years.

Xenotilapia Spilopterus Kipili -- I am looking to pick up some from him -- because I am removing my leleupi from my 110 and I want something else nice and peaceful to replace them with :)

EK -- I did a little research on these guys, and this is what I found while looking online and in the books I have..

From Cichlid Forum
Scientific Name: Xenotilapia spilopterus
Maximum Size: 4"

From Tanganyika Cichlids - Back to Nature by Ad Konnings
Max size 12-11cm

I dont think, with my Leleupi getting to about the same size (that is the fish I am removing) that it should be to hard to get them to live in the same tank.

They are considered peaceful / mildly aggressive to conspecific -- where leleupi are considered mildly aggressive / aggressive to conspecific.

I am hoping this will be a better fit over all by moving the leleupi into the new 180 with the Kiku and Chilambo, and I was thinking about getting two trio's (if they are sold as trio's) to replace the leleupi in the 110. I am hoping with this less agressive fish in the tank the cyps will be a little more "settled"

What do you think EK ?

[eklikewhoa]

Well I haven't looked into them much to suggest anything on those.

I will say that I would not put the kiku with the chilambo and you should get at LEAST the full box of chilambo.

[eklikewhoa]

Forgot to add... I would more then likely take the chance on these over the leleupi.
