Hi All,
Need some advice, just started a 55g all male tank.
Currently there is only 7 African cichlids. The Copadichromis borleyi is the tank BOSS now and he does chase the other fishes a little but not too aggressive
Below is current stocklist:
Otopharynx lithobates 2.5inch
Placidochromis electra 3inch
Protomelas Taiwan Reef 3.5inch
Copadichromis borleyi 4inch
Aulonocara Rubescens 3inch
Labidochromis caeruleus 2.5inch
Enterochromis paropius 3inch (this fellow does not color up like when he is in the shop?)
i am thinking to add 3 more African cichlids below
Otopharynx tetrastigma - not sure will it clash with Otopharynx lithobates as they are the same family?
Copadichromis azureus - not sure will it clash with other blue fishes or the Copadichromis borleyi as they are the same family?
Steatocranus casuarius
Another question can i add about five to ten tiger barbs or silver dollars as dither fishes to reduce aggression?
Thanks
