Astatotilapia Latifasciata Help

[Davey_8313]

I'd just like to know more about them. Would I be able to possibly put a pair in a 20g or would I need a bigger tank than that? Could I put them in a 40g w/ other fish? Thanks.

I have 4

I currently have 4 all of them female, well three are female and the fourth is to young yet to know for sure.

Not sure about putting them in a 20. I have mine in a 125 with Afra cobues, Yellow tail aceis, yellow labs and petricolas.

The Astatotilapia Latifasciata are the largest fish in the tank but they are very peaceful. The afras chase them and most of the aggression, if you want to call it that, ( mild chasing) expressed by the Latifasciata are towards there own species.

Yeah, I was reading that they are the most peaceful Victorian. I dont know why I put 20. I meant the 40g. I have an empty 40g breeder that I want to put something in. Be my first Africans in quite a few years.
