i have heard from a number of people that it is not a good idea to mix juli's

[The Wedge]

your not mixing Tanganyika with Malawi are you? Not a good idea to mix Julies as well. The Gold Head will need a high protein diet vs. the Malawi need a high veggie diet. I would stick with one or the other.
