Title: Neolamprologus Leleupi?
Post by: olliesshop on May 09, 2014, 03:25:37 AM

I've been looking at Neolamprologus Leleupi (Yellow) as tank mates for my Cyprichromis Coloratus.  I currently have 9 Cyps, but expect to have 30 in my 125g tank soon.  I was wondering what folks thought about Leleupi.

• Will they interact well with my Cyps?
• Do they hang toward the bottom of the tank?
• Are there other bright colored fish from Tanganyika that I should consider? (My wife really wants some colorful fish)
• My tank is setup for Rock Dwellers, which is sounds like Leleupi would match with

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you  :)

They should work in that size tank.  I would make rock piles to the side and leave the middle and top part of the tank open for the cyps.  I have julies and altolamps with one of my cyp groups and seems to work fine provided they have their own territories.

Thanks!  It sounds like they would  fit into my tank, since I have big rock piles on either end and the middle is open.
