I've decided to do Eretmodus cyanostictus for my Tanganyikan tank. I know they are aggressive with each other. Is it in their best interest to keep only one? Or should I take my chances and try to get a pair? I don't care either way, I just want happy fish.
Also, I want to make sure the tank is ready for them. I'd like to get fish in the tank for awhile first to make sure the conditions are right. Debating between a hardy schoolers like danios or rainbowfish, maybe livebearers, but my perfectionism hates that they wouldn't be tanganyikan.
Other options:
- Neolamprologus gracilis. I hear they stay smaller and aren't too aggressive. Plus I love them
- Shell dwellers such as brevis "sunspot".
- Neolamprologus caudopunctatus
- Altolamprologus calvus or compressiceps (different diet requirements I know, but less aggressive)
Wish there were more small open water swimmers from tanganyika. I want my Eretmodus to be happy with whatever else I put in there. Any suggestions?
