Sap with cutteri cichlid (related to convicts)

Post by allaboutfish »

Can I keep 3 sap's with a male cutteri cichlid in a 30 breeder? Its closely related to a convict but less aggressive.

3 SAPs in a 30g is overstocked already. 15g (minimum) for the 1st one & then 10g for every one added.

+1. Also your cichlid may get nipped at, or may stress out the saps
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly
