First post here, hello everybody!

I currently have six juvies of the "Rock Krib" yellow checkerboard pattern variety, 2 m 4 f. I would like to know what else I can keep with them in my 55, Lake Victoria-wise, not Malawi or Tanganyika...

I would also like to know who can supply me with any fish... anyone breeding Victoria species here willing to ship to Florida?

Astatotilapia Latisfasciata is one good choice....

Really? I thought they look too similar, at least the males... I have seen your auctions, and I was already considering it.

What about pundamilia? Are they too large?

Pundamilia can get aggressive, but they could work....vics are never as bad as mbuna in fights. Ruby Greens, and Limax are a couple of nice ones that should work too.

Mattv should also have some recommendations.

just stay clear of other members of the rock krib complex and you should be fine. Latifasciata would be fine. Hap. sp. 'Kenya Gold' might look good as well and they have the virtue of staying pretty small.
