Julidochromis maleri tankmates

[verbal]

I got a pair of Julidochromis maleri at the mini-auction on saturday.

I have them in a 30 breeder. What are some recommended tank mates?

Would a group(or pair) of Leleupi work?

Do they come out more with dither fish?

That's a good question, Jesse....i've been wondering the same question. I've got some J. regani that i just moved into a 40 breeder with lots of rocks and some Comps. I'm wondering what sort of Tang combinations work well for people in the smaller tanks.

I kept J Transcriptus with Lamp. Occelatus in a 30 breeder with a rock pile on one side for the Julies and a large bed of shells for the occies, both species bred regularly once they settled in with minimal aggression. Both colonies started as groups of six
