They were in the African Cichlid tank (Malawi) at the LFS. So I grabbed 2.

Big.Jon said:Nice looking fish. How big are they?
Convict2161 said:Yeah that's them!! And thanks. I know some may frown for mixing but I like to have a variety of all different "wow" factor fish in my "show" tank. It just makes for GREAT conversation when everyone is always like what is that and oh wow what is this! Or holy ...... What is that!! I like the fact that I have a mixed tank right or wrong I like it. And if we all went by the book I feel the hobby would never grow, JMHO.
Sorry if I insult some but it's jut how I feel.
Nu-Nu the eel said:Yes sir i agree. Its just like writing an essay in my opinion, you have to know the rules in order to break them. If you know that mixing can cause problems you will be more cautious and smart about it. The real danger is people who dont even know the rule
Convict2161 said:Thanks! There about 2 inches. The guy at the LFS (joe) said not to put anything smaller in my tank. I couldn't resist. So I took 2. Now I'm waiting for this crazy looking loaches he's getting in this week.
Tcal01 said:What kind of loaches are they? Hillstream loaches?
Convict2161 said:The Loaches that are coming I don't know the name. I'm waiting to see what they look like. He said there like zebra stripped and look like the Botia loach.
Convict2161 said:I 100% agree. Just have to be smart about it.

Convict2161 said:No offense taken. I did ask the name and forgot. It's on my receipt and I saw them in a African Cichlid tank a 75g with the same stock as mine so yes I grabbed the 2 cause he said they do better in pairs. I asked how long he's had them in the tank he said 3 weeks and they were eating and doing fine.
Your absolutely correct and that's why I asked all the questions and I felt confident in buying them. And I trust the guy. There have been plenty of time where he has told me no way will those work or don't even try it.
