Pet Forum / Aquaria / General / August 2005cichlid - Lamprologus Brichardi
Will Lamprologus Brichardi go in a Malawi tank successfully? Thanks  SignatureI'm a dyslexic agnostic - I still can't make up my mind if there's a dog > Will Lamprologus Brichardi go in a Malawi tank successfully? > Thanks These are Tanganikan Cichlids rather than Malawis - from what I've read the two regions should not be mixed but I've never tried and I'm sure that there are people out there who have done this successfully (or maybe not) Sorry can't be more helpful Gill > *From:* "Devi" <spam@notnet> > *Date:* Sun, 21 Aug 2005 19:31:21 +0100 > > Will Lamprologus Brichardi go in a Malawi tank successfully? > Thanks Depends. They are Tanganikan rather than Malawi so the water parameters are a bit different, but (especially if tank bred) Cichlids from both lakes will take quite a wide range, and these ranges overlap. The other tank mates are more important. If you put them in with Mbuna they will suffer big time as they are also rock dwellers and no where near as aggressive. If you put them in with members of the open water Hap flock they will probably do OK, so long as there is lots of cover. Roger Sleet Roger's Aquatic Pages http://www.sleet.plus.com They should be fine with your Malawi cichlids. But if you have a breeding pair of Brichardi they may kill their tankmates. > Will Lamprologus Brichardi go in a Malawi tank successfully? > Thanks A problem that may occur, if mixing these with herbivorous mbuna, is the mbuna eating the tangs meaty diet and threfore getting digestive problems - ie malawi bloat. > They should be fine with your Malawi cichlids.
