Mixing Pelvicachromis species

Hello all was wondering if I could get a bit of help. I have a 100gallon tank with a pair of Pelvicachromis pulcher which have recently spawned and would love to try my hand at breeding Pelvicachromis taeniatus. Would these two species of Pelvicachromis be OK together or will they possibly fight to the death?

I have never kept taeniatus and pulcher together, but it would surprise me greatly if you could not have one pair of taeniatus and one pair of pulcher together in a 100G tank.

There is no problem doing that, but be aware that when either pair spawns they will view the other kribs as territorial threats. 100 gallons is plenty big for the non-breeders to hide in though.

Hi I didn’t know if you still have any of the Apistogramma Cuipeua?
Would be interested if so.
