Donny@ageofaquariums Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Electric blues are very popular, as are blue dolphins and red empress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasman Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 you could add a colony of 10 venustus, a 4x2x2 is a good volume of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasman Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 haha dont think i will want that many venutus you do need alot more fish though, 15 in that size tank would be too quiet for me. Id want at least 30 fish to fill the void. Maybe not venustus (im not much of a fan either lol) but some peacocks would nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_M Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I would try to stick to fish that max out around 8 inches. Protomelas Taiwan reefs are nice as are o. Lithobates, placidiochromis electras and copadichromis borelyi. Having said that the ideal thing to do would be to add more mbuna and give the haps a separate tank.
