Ok, one more newbie
question for tonight. Say I get Dwarf SA chichlids to breed.
Will the couple terrorize a 55 gallon tank so that I could only keep one
species or could I have a couple different dwarf species breeding in the
same 55 gallon with lots of hiding places. Like cacatoos or and curviceps
for example. :)
Just wondering because I had a couple kribs (pelv.
pulcher) that started breeding within a few minutes of putting them in
my 55 gallon tank and within a couple days I saw one rip the gill off a
Ram! I don't mind having a species tank with dithers if I have too.
So, in a a nut shell, will a lot of these dwarves kill other
while in breeding mode even in a 55 gallon tank?
This depends on the species. If I were to choose 2 species,
cacatuoides & curviceps make an ideal group. They handle the same water
conditions and breed in very different ways and in different parts of the
tank. They don't seem to consider each other competition. They usually
get along OK in larger tanks.
