Which cichlid with Lucipinnis? (another one..)

Post by Potbellyrhino »

Heya folks,

I have a 40g breeder planted thats been maturing for a couple months and am about ready to stock. I was planning on a species tank w/ 5 S. Lucipinnis but as theres some extra room i was hoping that i could find an interesting fish to keep with them, pref from the same biotope (Tangs, water conditions etc etc).
I was originally thinking shellies but they tend to dig a bunch and heard stories about Julis torturing the synos.

Does anyone have any experience keeping these awesome cats with any of the smaller cichlids in a 40b and if so which ones?

If the general consensus is the tank is too small for lucipinnis (dont think it is) ill prob switch to something south american with a pair of Crenicichla Regani. If you have any thoughts on fun cats i could keep with them that would be appreciated also =)

P.s. Thanks in advance and sorry for the brain dump ^:)^

/Bump

Thinkin of the lucipinnis with 2 caudo puncs and/or 2 calvus.

Heard Placidochromis electra were relatively peaceful and good tankmates with the small synos.

Just lookin for a cool pair or two that may breed and add some spunk to the tank.

Thanks again
