Stocking Help????

[tigs247]

Hi to all, Im thinking of changing from Malawis to Tangs. I have a 255ltr tank and want some help with my stocking,is it possible to have these together?? Lamp Leleupi,Lamp Brevis,Juli Dickfeldii and Cyprichromis Leptosoma???

Leleupi are quite aggressive little fish. Mine butchered the julies I had in the same tank. They may or may not do well with brevis, it's worth a shot. The cyps should be fine since they won't bother leleupi or julies in the rockwork.

I used to think I knew all these rules. That was until I actually got a tanganyika tank. Now I don't know. Cichlids are going to behave how they want and be damned what any book or wright-up says lol. You just have to stock your tank and see what happens, then remove/replace what doesn't work. Its really the only way.

But baseline the stock you listed sounds fine, just have lots of rock and add some shells for the brevis.
