Copadichromis azureus

[Madhatter]

I need some help ladies and gentlemen. I've read an article stating that the azureus shouldn't be kept in a tank smaller than 5 feet. I have a 75 gallon.... Which is 4 feet. I just wanna be an educated and responsible hobbyist. Thanks in advance!

Maybe I'm thinking about C. chrysonotus (sp?), which is often sold as "azuareus" but the ones I kept a few years ago were pretty mild as "Haps" go.

It's easy for these guys to get buillied by more assertive haps (or mbuna).

No problem with a female heavy harem in a 75g, in my perspective.

Thanks Matt!
I'm considering keeping a nice breed of yellow labs and some Dragon Fire with these.

I think Yellow labs should be good but stay away from more aggressive mbuna.

To be at their best, these guys need to be the top of the pecking order...

Gotcha Thanks again, Matt
