Title: WTB breeding pair/trio of African cichlid for 29g show tank
Post by: mattxlau on October 13, 2013, 11:02:56 PM

Before I begin, I need these fish to be delivered to Ann Arbor 48104. I'm a student and don't have a car.

I have a newly set up 29g tank just waiting for a nice show tank quality proven breeding pair/trio of cichlids. My budget is very tight so try not to burn a hole in my pocket.

Keywords: show fish quality & easy on the wallet & NEEDS to be delivered.

for a 29g tank your probably going to do well with some shell dwellers or something on the the smaller side. especially if your going to breed them. if your ok with not breeding them you can also get a few different species that will get along and give you a bunch of color.

I will go with shell dwellers.  Look up 'Lamprologus' multifasciatus.  Or some neolamp barchardi.  These fish will breed and colonize.  Pretty neat how they will raise their fry.

Do you have any n. brichardi or daffodil you could sell me? I've worked with shell dwellers before and want to try some other fish that aren't so timid.
