Similis Tankmates

Post by joeywatts9 »

I have a 40 gallon breeder set up for the similis. My neighbor has Neolamprologus leleupi fry. I am just doing my homework before making a bad decision. Would Paracyprichromis nigripinnis work?

Hi Joey,

That is not your best choice either. Just do a species only tank, and in time the similis will fill it. It will be a neat tank, you can make it into a shell bed with a few plants. Because they are colony breeders, they really do best by themselves.

I think you will enjoy it!
