Keeping a neolamprologus brichardi in a 30 gallon tank

Post by speckle »

Considering a 30 gallon tank for Neolamprologus brichardi. Is that a bit too small or doable?

Thinking of a setup with 1/2 inch sand substrate and a simple rock pile at the rear, nothing too elaborate. Planning to start with a single Albino Brichardi pair, no other fish to begin with, and hopefully end up with a total of six.

A pair will be alright. Just be prepared to thin out the young ones regularly so the tank doesn't get overcrowded.
