Good mornin',
Well, IMO with these two species I would do a little more research before housing in a tank of more aggressive species you are considering IMHO I would either concentrate on an aggressive genre like, Pseudotropheus or less aggressive, like ELECTRIC YELLOW, BLUE DOLPHIN, BORLEYI, PEACOCKS, RUSTY
to name a few. Keep in mind that just because these are "less aggressive" does not mean there won't be chasing going on, and interest in your aquarium, & you'll fall asleep watching your fish All african cichlids are aggressive fish, some more than others, but they are all interesting to watch.
You have a nice tank size to work with, and what you want may work, just keep in mind...There is a possibility that your choice of fish will not co-exist peacefully. Your less aggressive ones may suffer from stress or worse I'll share what I know about the species you mentioned & let you decide what will work best for you
CYRTOCARA MOORII "MALAWI BLUE DOLPHIN":
Easy to keep, & pretty adaptable.
Although slow growing, males are known to reach over 11" & females 8"
Unlike the mbuna's, the "Malawi Blue Dolphin" is found in shallow waters of Lake Malawi.
Males develop nuchal hump.
COPADICHROMIS BORLEYI "YELLOW FIN":
Easy to keep, & adaptable.
Grows to 9"
Not a picky eater - ALGAE EATER
Both are non-aggressive & may have a hard time with more aggressive tank mates.
Both are large, beautiful Malawi Cichlids  |
