Hmm...didn't look like a troll to me. I was wondering if they're
Tanganyikans. Those fit fine in a 30 gallon tank. And N leleupi can be
orange and very mean.

regardless of what you keep, If they have struck a balance, and all get on,
leave well alone. Just be content with them as they are. No point in
starting a riot.
A while ago a friend of mine had this display, in the front Waiting room
of his office, 6 foot tank, Cichlids, fully planted, hiding holes made of
fake rock, etc. The thing looked a million dollars, and he told me that
people used to come into the office just to look at his fish.
The next time I went in , There was this 6 inch Oscar, the tank was a
complete wreck, Half the fish where missing and every bit of greenery was
floating on the top of the tank. He had bought the Oscar 3 days earlier,
Don't ask me what happened to the Oscar, but I think it was returned from
wence it came. And the Show tank, was never the same again.
