O. Ventralis Tank Mates

Nes · 01-20-2005, 12:39 PM

I've got a 70 gallon with a trio of O. Ventralis - breeding so I want tank mates that are calm, open water & no psicivorous!

I've got a small colony of N. Brevis (shellies) so also something that doesn't conflict with them.

If at all possible I'd really like another speices from Tebwe or at least the south-end of the lake

Someone already suggeted E. Melanogenys which I think are beautiful! But I'm worried they'll conflict with my shell-dwellers :\

Maybe some species of Cyprichromis? I'm not sure what part of the lake they are from, but I think they'd make an interesting addition to your tank.

Throw in some Altolamprologous.

Aren't they piscivorous? (Some calvus would look great, though!)

They are piscivorous.. very pretty though! I like the Cyp. idea too.
