Mixing species

Post by drd62 »

Hi Pam,

I have a 150g tank with 9 clown Loaches of various sizes with a trio of Markiana Nigripinnis (large tetra 5" from Paraguay)
The question I am asking is could I put 3 Vieja Heterospilus with my 1 EBJD ? The clowns like to travel as a group and my EBJD is a mellow fish. The Heterospilus are one of the more mellower cichlids and because of limited space I have in my tank, I was wondering if this would be a good fit? The clowns can live in a wider range of ph, So, I thought I would ask your opinion. I am doing 50% water changes once a week and have 3 Aqua clear 110's on the tank with a Koralia 4 circulation pump as well for more water movement. Thankyou.

Hi drd62,

As long as they are same size or larger, then it would probably be okay. You are to be congratulated on your tank maintenance routine! Keep that up, and your fish will love it!

Cichlid Power!
