  • Ectodus Descampsii - Needs tankmates

    I am looking to put some more fish into my 115 gallon, and want to take some suggestions on what to mix with them.

    I am pretty much thinking Cyprichromis, or Furcifier, or Ventralis.

    What about Paracyps?  Think that would work?

    Those would make cool tank mates. Alex usually gets 50 or so on his tanganyikan shipments

    Got any pics of your fish yet?

      What about some benthochromis or haplotaxadon?

        Paracyps would be great. Peaceful, slow moving ... sounds good.

        Yeah Geoff... What about Benthochromis?

        I was thinking Alto. calvus or comp would  probably work also.

                Yeah, I know, they're too expensive anyway.

                  Nope...and not anytime soon.  :( They are slow growers. Just a little larger than the Ectodus right now. One is slowly starting to color up.

                      7 Benthochromis Tricoti from Old World Cichlid. Originally 10 but 2 didn't make the transport very well and one jumped.
