Post by joeywatts9 »

Would Neolamprologus Similis and Neolamprologus leuleupi work together?

Hi Joey,

I don't think that is a good choice, the leleupi will eat the similis fry and even young adults. Not to mention the mental stress of being housed with a predator.

A much better choice would be species of Julidochromis, Chalinochromis and other liked size Lamps, even compressiceps or calvus.

You not telling me what size tank you are able to provide, and that is a necessary fact in what species you can pick.

Back to the drawing board!
