L. Tanganyika species questions; sardine?

[John58Ford]

So, hypothetical here: does anyone actually keep lake Tanganyika sardines (not Cyprichromis leptosoma, but Limnothrissa miodon) in aquaria?

I have read several different biotope recommendations and never really see these come up it's usually just the cichlids or killi. Is there a biological reason, or maybe the school size wind be too much?

Not an urgent question, just something I was wondering.

I'm sure someone, somewhere has kept these fishes in aquaria, but I've never known anyone that has done so, and Limnothrissa miodon is virtually non-existent in the hobby. I don't think there is any reason for this beyond the the fact that these are just 'little silver fishes,' with little to recommend them to hobbyists. That said, there are enthusiasts for just about anything in this hobby, so...
