That's awesome, just had my female ndunbi holding at only about an inch in length, now I know it's possible at that size.

Red top ndunbi are a dwarf species, despite the fact they can grow over 5 inches. Mine bred at a similar size, so you shouldn't have any issues. I've found they're incredibly colorful, but they do get aggressive as they mature. I keep mine with larger, more aggressive mbuna and it works out just fine.

Got a batch of ten on order, should arrive once the weather picks up. They're gorgeous, can't wait to see them thrive. Did you manage to get your hands on the Maisons yet?

Worth the wait...my male took two years to finally mature like this. Can't wait for my juvies to colour up, been keeping an eye on them.

Another one I love... males with a creamy blue sheen

Here's a video of my crossbred Hongi, which is a mix of the "SRT" (Super Red Top) and "Sweden" line bred varieties.

Yup, 50 clips was the limit or it would've been a marathon. My ornate was a real character, loved that guy to bits.

Cheers mate, loved that vid, those cichlids are absolute stunners.

I've compiled some video clips of the various fish I've kept over the years. I've had a pretty diverse range, from tiny tetras to larger species like the impressive Centflake Americans cichlids.

I'd keep it as is, personally. The multis can get pretty aggressive, especially in a smaller tank like yours. They'll be too busy guarding their territory and protecting their young from each other to coexist peacefully with other species.
