cyno. sp. hara & met. blue dolphin

Post by kyboy »

Hi, Pam
I have another question. Would this mix work?
yellow labs 1m/3-4f
met. blue dolphins 1m/4f
cyno. haras 1m/4f

I'm aware of the blue bar rule, but my thinking was that the blue dolphins are not too aggressive & only the 1male cyno. hara would have barring. That's why I was thinking it might work. My tank is only a 55g though, so I'm not sure. PLease let me know what you think. Thanks! :)

Kyboy,

I don't think it is a good choice. I think you are under estimating their aggression as well as how large they are going get. They don't call them Malawi Cows for nothing!! I think you would be better off with two species and increase the size of these two groups.
