Title: williamsi blue lips are finally here
Post by: nismo_sky28 on May 16, 2012, 10:49:42 PM

Just picked up eight juvies and while I'm waiting for than to grow so I can get a decent m/f ratio for my tank I'm trying to figure out what I want to put in there with then as tank mates. Wondering what you might suggest. I already have 1m/3f  German reds, 1m/4f lab mamba and 5 yellow labs. The williamsi are going to be my center piece so I'm willing to make changes if need be.

They seem to get along with everything fine in my experience .... of course if you are looking for color contrast blues are great  elongatus chewere and white top afra look geat with them  got some of both if you want .  Be prepared for a long wait for breeding

Thank you for the input.  I really like the chewere and are the white top afra the species with the blue females by chance?

I would like to keep my mbamba and the red top might not be welcomed by my male. The chewere definitely catch my eye but your for sale post only has males in it and I'm looking for juvies between 1 and 2 inches

I think I'll try them with most of what I have in there for now but when you do have some more chewere juvies let me know.
