Hello everyone,
I just purchased a trio of Pundamillia Nyererei from AB. I have been in contact with the seller and he said he had extra females available at 1/3 of the auction cost. So my question is, what would be a good m/f ratio for a successful harem? Would the rule that applies to other Africans of 1m/3f apply to the Nyererei as well? Sorry If I just answered my own question, these are my first Vic's and I want to make sure I'm right about the stocking ratio before I send payment to the seller. Thanks in advance.
 
I'd go 1M:4F with these...they can get nasty with multiple males.
 
Thanks everyone, I will purchase two extra females for a stocking ratio of 1m/4f. I got the trio at $15, so adding the other two females definitely won't break the bank haha.
 
I wouldn't i would stick to the Trio the male will def kill off extra females you can try it but Vic's have an extra UUMMPPHH when it comes to aggression and in all actuality he will probably kill the extra female..

If anything throw in some dithers fish maybe fast common Australian rainbowfish
 
If it helps anyone on giving an opinion these are still fry so it would be easier to add new females now rather than later (if needed).
 
If there is still any doubt, ask to the breeder; but if they are fry, IMO you can add the 2 extra females. But do it ASAP.
 
I had a group of 7 of those in a 55, all the females got killed off first, then most of the males. They were too young to sex reliably when I received them, and several of the "females" were actually males that hadn't colored up yet.
Same thing with ruby green Hap's, I ended up with 2 males out of a group of 8. I still have one of those males. He lives in a 75 with 2m/3f eureka red peacocks, 4 red severums, 5 silver dollars, a group of Synodontis multi's, a single eupterus, about a dozen BN growing out, and 2 (not sure of the sexes) whiptail cats. There are presently 2 baby multi's and at least 2 eureka red fry lurking among the rocks. The ruby green shares a rockpile/cave with the multi group.
