I've got a 29gallon N. multifasciatus biotope tank on the drawing board right now, and I was thinking of tossing a few rocks in one corner and adding a second species to compete a little with the multi's. When I kept them (multi's) in a larger community tank, my favorite part was watching the "turf wars" with the other fish. There was a defined territorial boundary, with a sort of no-man's land between, it was quite entertaining to watch the Multi's square off and prevent another fish from entering their territory, or even making "raids" in groups of three into the poor subdominant leleupi's territory.
I'd really like the focus of the tank to be the multi's, but I think adding one or two fish of another species might add interest to the tank. What species (if any) would you recommend? I'm thinking maybe either a pair of smaller julidichromis, or perhaps a single brichardi? I'd like to stick with tang's that could concievably live in the rocks bordering a shellbed to fit the whole biotope concept.
thanks,
