With a 180 gallon tank (6 x 2 x 2), I have decided to do a tropheus ikola tank.
I'm thinking I can do about 20-25 tropheus ikolas, but I would really like to keep other fish with them.
Some friends I have in mind are
4-6 julie regani
4-6 telmatochromis temporalis
8-10 eretmodus marksmithi.
As I believe they can all subsist on spirulina wafers and NLS 1 mm.
Would this combo work? Only the tropheus are must have, although the telmatochromis are second priority. This would mostly be a display tank although breeding will certainly be nice. Tropheus are definetely a priority and I'm a bit concerned the regani and temporalis may stress the trophs out or the trops may stress other fish out. I'm willing to strip fry from tropheus if the other fish get too good at fry killing
