Posted	Altolamprologus Tank Size?
02-04-2006 14:00 by JohnKR	What would you consider to be a reasonable size tank for breeding Altolamprologus Calvus / Compressiseps? I say reasonable because I don’t want to squeeze them into a minimum size but also don’t want a massive tank with 2 or 3 fish in. I don’t know yet weather I will get a few young dish to grow to adults or go for adults in the first place. Perhaps grow some on keep the females and buy a wild caught male. Any advice would be welcome, Cheers John.

04-04-2006 23:12 by JohnKR	Thanks for the replies. I have kept calvus before in a mixed Tang tank 48x15x18 and they seam to keep to there own end of the tank, but some advice sites are saying only keep them in large tanks. I realy just wanted confirmation of what I thought, Cheers John.
