I have successfully raised Yellow Tail Acei and Yellow Lab fry in my tetra tank until they are big enough to survive in my mbuna tank. 75g = Yellow-tail Acei, Yellow Labs, Maingano. 20g Planted = Serpae Tetras, Lemon Tetra, Amano Shrimp (and sometimes mbuna fry) Reply Like.
alexrex20 said: tiger barbs do great with african cichlids. they're very hardy, very active, and aggressive enough to hold their own in a tank of cichlids, but not so much that they stress/injure the cichlids. they're affordable and they don't get too large, and with their strong appetite, they'll be sure to finish off any extra food if you ...

That being said, a 29gal tank is going to be much too small for those African cichlids long-term. You have some highly aggressive species, they'll outgrow that tank pretty quickly.

Now I've read that african cichlids should be kept in tanks that are at least 4 feet long (most of them anyway). Here is a list of what I'd like to put in the 40 gallon breeders. Just checking to see if this would be a good idea or not. Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos 2m/5 to 6 females. Pseudotropheus Saulosi 2m/5 to 6 females.
A frontosa is best in a 72" species tank or mixed with certain calm cichlids like calvus. Some people raise a juvenile in a smaller tank and then upgrade, but at 6 inches, he is already at the max for a 48" tank on day one. The mbuna will chomp on his streamers. You have an aggressive and potentially troublesome mix just with your existing fish.
It is safe but most don't use it as it tends to lower the pH and soften the water, not good for african cichlids. Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days. -Benjamin Franklin. Reply Like.

I personally keep mts, unintentionally in most of my tanks but have benefited from Olive nerites and Clea Helena for mts control and have been able to create a balance with all of them.
