	Nimbochromis venustus
PJ Big Fish Posts: 492 Kudos: 427 Votes: 326 Registered: 19-Aug-2004	Hello. Well, I have a few questions about N. Venustus. Firstly, what size tank is recomended for them??? Would a 115g be suitable? Also, what is the minimum sized fish they can be kept with? Can they be kept with electric yellows etc? o.k, that's all the questions I have for now, maybe more coming later. Thanks, PJ.

A friend of mine had a pair of Venustus & Elec.Yellow & the Yellow's where chased all the time. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
