	Aulonocara Question
Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003	I currently have 3 Aulonocara Stuartgranti "Mdoka" and I was curious if it would be possible to add a second species without any fighting or inbreeding occuring.

Depending on tank size there's a few Haps that make excellent tank mates for Aulonocara
