Can i. bimaculata and l. curviceps be in the same 75g tank?

This would only be temporary while I set up a couple of 20 g Long tanks. The 6 curviceps are smaller juveniles and the pair of bimaculata are close to breeding age.

You should be ok with both species for long period of times. They don't interact and even when breeding they tend to be very localized in their area of protection. I found bimaculata very docile and easily mixed other cichild with it.

I think so, too. I. adoketa with L. curviceps might be a different matter.

Nice looking fish but I will wait until I have a separate, spare tank before considering them ...
