1991brouwer Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 hi all i have a tank that i am currently packing down and restarting the only fish i am keeping are my julidochromis and a placid red zebra, my question is what other species can i add to them that wont cause much aggression i really would like the most peaceful tank i can end up with for the mix i have as all my other anks are predatory tanks and i wouldnt mind owning a tank i can smile at not freak out about . thanks much in advance dan.

DeadFishFloating Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) colour key for the above light blue ~ reccomended med blue ~ caution may not be compatable dark blue ~ DO NOT MIX grey ~ risk of hybrids, ok for display but not for breeding tank ectodus decampsi look great any around? On here Shon may be able to put you onto a contact or try the member ACE on the AL forum but yea for such an incredibly cool cichlid to watch they be thin on the ground One of my favourite cichlids by far and a shallow water species too so an aquarium is capable of mimicking its biotype Edited October 23, 2012 by DeadFishFloating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercobwe Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Any family of Melanochromis and metriaclima would be aggressive, red zebra is metriaclima family so they would aggressive toward others unless a more aggressive african. I would go for Tang if you want a mixed species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
