Title: Lethrinops ‘Deep Orange Top’ Nkata Bay
Post by: SteveScheuring on March 27, 2014, 09:03:51 AM

Just curious if any has raised Lethrinops ‘Deep Orange Top’ Nkata Bay?  I am putting together an all male 48" 120 gallon hap and peacock tank and I have not seen this fish listed very often.  Is it a good tankmate?  What are your thoughts?

I have a breeding group of them, they are pretty agressive with each other as far as chasing, but no damage.  I have never kept them in a community setting, but think they would be ok given enough cover and traffic in the tank.

What do you think of them as a community fish fro aethtics?  Are they attractive in a group?  Would you suggest any particular tank mates?  Would you even try or do you think there are better fish?

Thank you for your thoughts!
