Hi Everyone !!
I've been using this site for a while so wondering if anyone could give me tips or info...
I have a very large tank - it's a weird size... I have all male Cichlids in it, a Blue Dolphin, a Key Hole, a Frontosa & a Princess, the next addition will be some sort of Tropheus - Duboisi if I can get it & around the same size as the others which are around 12cms ( about 5 inches ) except for the Princess ofcourse altho he is almost fully grown & even tho the Frontosa thinks he owns the tank really the Princess is the Boss... I also have a Synadontis which is about 20cms ( about 8 inches ) They all hold their own & they all have their own spots which I made by stacking slate & also drfitwood with holes in it, quite a nice tank even if I do say so myself !!.
None of them are fin nipped or squabble - just wondering if the Duboisi would do alright ? He'll probably be the last fish I add for the size of the tank altho I would love to add a Flower Horn later when I get a tank just a bit bigger...
The Frontosa loves to re-decorate the tank - everyday I have to fix the mountains of rocks he builds all over the tank :rolleyes: & re-plant all of the plants... I got him for $40 which is the best bargain I have gotten fish wise ever !!. One that size would cost me around $200 or more from the place where we buy the fish from for the shop...
So I'm just really wondering if the Duboisi would go alright with the others ???
Mine get fed Spirilina, Cichlid Pellets, blood worms, Tropical Flakes & sometimes Colour Enhancing Flakes altho sometimes I think all they enhance is their pooh's !!.
Thanks ;-P

Your tank sounds interesting. I've never had any cichlids so I can't give advice on your potential combinations but hopefully someone else will respond.
