Neolamprologus sexfasciatus vs Neolamprologus tretocephalus

[ent]

Hi!
What do you think about keep this two species in tank 130 cm x 50 cm x 45 cm 292 l (Ofcorse one par N. sexfaciatus and 1 par N. tretocephalus)

I think it will work, I keep 9 adult trets, adult frontosas, multiple spawning gracilis, a cyanostictus and some longfin plecos all in a similar sized tank, heavily rocked and caved, they all spawn like crazy, including the Trets, multiple pairs at the same time.

in a 292 liter tank ? This is quite overcrowded !!!

Fronts should not be kept in tanks less than 2 meters long and about 800 liters.

Trets can be very agressive fishes, specially intraspecific behaviour.

Sexfasciatus are rather big lampros and, IMO, a larger tank is better.

In your tank, you can try to keep ONE of these 2 species, I'll never try 2 (even if I never kept trets ans sexfasciatus in the same tank)
