Very tempt to get 2 pc of Altolamprologus to try out.
But worry they really too sensitive to water change.
Hoping to comb them with Xeno, shellies & ventralis in 2 ft.
If they survive, then i will set-up another 2.5ft tank for Tangan.

Not all altos react badly to water changes, I admit that some do, the altos just collapse on the ground after a water change. but I have tanks with altos that i perform >50% water change on and add water from the tap, and they do not show any stress at all..

I always believe altos are one of the best candidates for a community tank, they are hardly ever aggressive to other tank mates, and are able to defend themselves from mean tankmates.

Im sure you wont regret starting on them
