      What size tank you got , I would say some cyps , or calvus - comps will do ok. A few Julies would be ok too.
      5 gal baby hecqui grow out
      7 gal baby compressicps
      14 bio cube fry tank, multies-orange leleupi-telmatochromis
      4 tank rack- 30 cubes. Shellies, mulities-brevis-telmatochromis-caudopunctaus
      100 gal mixed community tank
      125 Tropheus black bembas

      Tanngankia cichlids what else

        Ultimate fish. Not sure if you shop there or not but check EVERY tank regardless of what it looks like is in there. 5 of my kilesas came out of a tank with 30 australian rainbows. Couldn't really even see the Kilesas due to the swarm of rainbows...

        The gobies were in a tank down near my knees that I walked right past twice. I was asking him for some fry out of his goby tank (he won't sell them....) and he pointed out that he had some W/C in the tank I walked past twice.

        BTW - I bought all the gobies he had. As soon as I get a pair from these guys I'll post up the others in the for sale section.

          These guys are in a 30 gallon. With that said - as much as I'd like to do cyps I don't think I have the room for them in this tank. Julies and comps would be cool - think the julies and gobies would duke it out for rock space?

            I think you'd prob be ok with 2 of each. So long as you get smaller ones and grow them out you should be fine. I have had mixed tang tanks for years and havent had any trouble. Yea your going to have a rebal now and then but thats expected !

                    They look good. To bad they don't have more lip liner on.

                    Are these f1?

                          I'm scared to go to ultimate fish with cash.
                          I ate my fish that died.

                            I'm going to set up a 75 and toss them in there. Once I get it up and going I'll figure out what else is going in with them. I kinda hope I get a pair quickly - these fish like to fight so I'd like to thin the herd a little.

                              That's the truth! I've dropped some coin in there lately...Nice guy though so I don't mind spending it with him.
