Brevis Cichlid
cory cats or something to clean the tank

what one do u think will be more ative and fun or what do u suggest

thanks agian

no clown pleco, go w/ cories. White Clouds are hardier then Neons , which are fragile fish. Rams have a short lifespan of 1 to a max of 2.5 year(though 2.5 is rare) and are also fragile

sambi7878 · 02-05-2006, 03:13 AM

If you are looking for colors, having ram is a good choice but as what fishboy said, short lifespan.

With rams, you may have a pair or have another one peaceful small cichlid like a dwarf cichlid. I would also suggest to loose the tetra.

Some fish that you have mentioned do best in soft water and some are hard water fish. I would pick the group that will do best in whatever your tap water is.

ACCIDENT · 02-05-2006, 06:53 AM

i have hard water , soo are u guys going with tank one or two , maybe i can change the rams to something eles , i just want something with colour and is active

ron v · 02-05-2006, 11:14 AM

Do you want to stay with fish that do better in hard water? If so, go with tank two, but leave out the cories.

**Cichlid Man** · 02-05-2006, 11:20 AM

Go the tanginikan option. But no cories as they are softwater. Get some synos instead.

ACCIDENT · 02-05-2006, 07:34 PM

THANKS i am going to pick

x3 leleupi
x1 bristlenose pleco

ACCIDENT · 02-10-2006, 06:33 AM

hey whats up agian i got a 65 gall soo i got a bit more of a pick . the tank comes with 2 oscers i dont what them.

what fish can go with lelupi and how many lelupi can i have

sambi7878 · 02-11-2006, 01:11 AM

Neolamprolugus Leleupi (lemon cichlid) are known to be teritorial. Max size: 4 inches. They live in hard water, ph of 7.5-8, and temp of 24-28'C. I think you could have 5 leleupi in a 65 gal tank if you want it to be a leleupi-only tank. If you want other tankmates, you could have other Tanganyikan cichlids like the Neolamprolugus brevis (brevis shelldweller), Neolamprolugus caudopunctatus (caudopunk), or Neolamprolugus cylindricus (cylindricus).

I have a 33Long Tanganyika tank, that is one of the most
entertaining tanks I have. And one of my favorites. If
you ask me? I say go Tanganyika. In mine I have....
Pair of Lepidiolamprologus meeli
10+ Neolamprologus brevis Sun Spot
Pair of Neolamprologus Gracilis
5 baby F1 Frontosa, baby blues from Wapembwe
6 baby Geophagus altifrons
6 pygmy Synodonis Petricola

Get some synos instead. __________________ If you have a big enough tank with enough hiding places, pH of around 7, you can keep virtually any fish together as long as all the fish are around the same size and these two groups of fish are avioded: Serrasalmus Tetradon(figure eights and dwarfs are the exception). I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
