The punks will breed in shells, and I think you'd have agression issues by combining them in one tank. Your water params sound fine. Multies don't really like much substrate, just lots and lots of shells. For the punks you'd want sand, somd rockwork, and shells. I've found multies rather easy to breed  ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| illustrae Fish Addict Posts: 820 Kudos: 876 Registered: 04-May-2005 | I have a tank this size, and I just filled it with Caudopunks. It's definitely too small for two species of shell-dwellers. You could probably add a few more for a total of 6 or so. I was also sad that a 2 foot tank is really too small for more than one species of cichlid. A 29 or 30 gallon tank might hold 2-3 species, but even then I wouldn't keep more than one shellie species unless I had a pretty huge tank. Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean... |
