I have the opportunity to get one of these guys from someone who kept it with African cichlids, big mixed tank, you know the works, tanganika, Malawi, denston barb target/deithers. I am very interested in the fish, and was wondering if it would do ok with my small Victorian cichlids, it is 4 inches long, my largest vic is just under 4 inches, I also have some large feather fin squeakers in with them. I do have a smaller more peaceful tank with my yoyos, which was where I had the vics until I upgraded, and the loaches did fine with the vics. The tank could temporarily house it, but eventually I would like to give it a little more room, which is why I would want to have it with my vics. I have done successful mixes with bottom dwellers, but have not had the same success with surface fish; before I got a bigger tank and more vics I had 3 and my obliqudens got really nasty, beat up my kyoga red, so I added 2 giant danios, that where sharing a tank with cichlids at Petco, they didn't really take to my water and 1 got nailed by the obliquides and died, the other died shortly after from I think nitrates, because the tank crashed after that.
other questions, how long are they expected to live? Is their any information or luck breeding them?
