simple question..

[method]

can i keep both malawi's and tangikyan's (i forgot how to spell it) in the same tank?

more specifically yellow labs and brichardis?

 

[JWright]

Generally it's a bad idea to mix lakes.

Specifically, I would advise against labs and brichar's

Same here. I've seen many Malawi/Tang tanks.....but idk if i would put these two fish together.

i dunno, it's kinda hard to answer, but answer would be you might not want to risk it.

This could be a debatable topic though

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You definitely need to think about it, and defintiely avoid the nastier mbuna.
Labs and brichardi might work though you need a largish tank in case the brichardi breed and become very territorial

 

[blueturq]

Labs and brichardi might work though you need a largish tank in case the brichardi breed and become very territorial

Or vice versa, if the labs want to breed and they become territorial

Method: What you could do is just get one of each maybe......

hmm yeah..

i was just wondering because i saw a 90 gallon tank full of yellow labs, electric blues, and brichardi's and they were all getting along fine. it was really beautiful.

It might work, it might not. Thats the debate.
