Decided #1
After much deliberation and discussion with the LFS they have said they would be interested in taking the fry i have and the breeding pair of brevis as they know people that want them.

They did say they wouldnt be able to keep taking on Fry so this is a one off chance.

I am actually pretty sad that i may let them go as obviously i have got attached over the last 2 years ish.

Just not able to keep another fry tank and then also don't want to have lots of healthy fish i can't get rehome.

So they say if i want i can bring them all in tommorow!



Soooo if i do (which i think i have to for the long run) That will leave me just spike( transcricptus) on his own with two nerites in a 65 litre with coral.

What (if anything) can go in with him? Gonna have to think very hard this time in terms of wether the fish are breeders like the shellies or not.

Hi mate, I'm afraid I'm so clueless over cichlids that I'm not even sure what a Brevis is! Thought I'd give you a response though so you didn't feel lonely

Re: Decided #5
your going to struggle as you don't really have room for something that will stand up to the brevice and the smaller cichlids will bread

Hey gw.

Just to clear up all the brevis have gone. The breeding pair and the fry so just a julie transcriptus left.

Was thinking maybe two lelupis (yellows) might work?

to be honest the julie spends 99 per cent of the time in or around his cave.

Re: Decided #7
that could work if you got them young and a per as they would hold a territory but you will need to upgrade as 30 gal is really what you would need as they can be very aggressive
