Hey guys
I have 6 cyno. axelrodi that i thought i could switch from my 55 gal, where they breed a lot. So my thinking was that putting them into a 20 gallon tank they wold breed, be less likely to eat their fry, and evolve into a specific tank.
So ppl have told me no cynotilapia could strive in such a small tank. So then I'm thinking about leaving them into the 55gal and wish the fry good luck. But I already own this 20 gal tank with cycled water and i could set it up as a tanga or malawi small tank, but i am not an expert.
So im looking for suggestions here.
1) Put the axelrodi in the 20 gal? 2m/4f. If so, i can put a new species with my 6 labeotropheus trewavasae chilumba which are very calm, and my 6 johanni which are slightly more agressive (more like intraspecfici agression 3m/3f)
2) I dont change the population in my 55 gallon, and i go with something new in the 20 gal... or i get rid of the 20 gallon and go for a 32... and then what? julidochromis? shell dwellers6 (hard to keep?) a bunch of small malawi cichlids? 1 species only of course.
any ideas welcome!
