what kind of pretty colours in a 23gal?
at the moment there are 2 female bristle nose in there growing up before i place them in my 35gal. for breeding with the males.
was looking at electric yellows or blues. what would be good and how many in the 23 for now before i move the BN
will the BN be ok with these kinds of fish

I'm not sure a 23 gal. has a big enough foot print for africans

I agree with amanda....

africans usually need 40-75 gals as they are very agressive and territorial ..they are amazing fish tho...with many many to choose from...heres a great link for you to read

theres not a whole lot of africans that will fit and be happy in a 23 gal tank

Multi-banded shell dwellers or similar species would live in a 23 g happily.

They are incredible little fish and if your interested in breeding them there great.
