Picked up six F2 Coptodon bythobates at our local club's auction yesterday. After they spend some time in quarantine, I plan on setting up a 75 gallon for them. I am unable to find much information on them at all anywhere. I believe they were formerly in the genus of Tilapia?
Can anyone tell me a good setup situation for them in a 75, water conditions (the guy I got them from kept them in "hard, medium pH" water...not very specific), and what their diet consists of? How big do they get, temperment, tankmates, etc? How about dithers? Are they too aggressive for some good ole fashioned West African killis or barbs?
It's my understanding they are on the IUCN Redlist?
Thanks,
Brian
