I have a 2nd 4ftx4ft aquarium that hasn't been allocated and originally I was thinking of moving my pucallpaensis to a 15 given that they 'mostly' get along in a 10 (I have 3 females and 2 males in there) and are now breeding. The tank would be scaped somewhat similar as this:
But of course as being 4 times deeper and 2 1/2 times deeper there would be more layers of driftwood - probably mostly horizontal slices but maybe some vertical depending on what i find and how long.
What i don't know is if they will be satisified with their territory or if I would end up creating a lot of excess viciousness. I realize the borelli are a bit larger (having both); so it is somewhat important that the borelli not be excessively vicious.
Originally i was going to move my guppies into this aquarium but my thought now is i will put them in an old 40b that will be in the basement as I don't really find them that interesting (I've had them for 5 years); and i'll let them live out their days until i need to repurpose that aquarium.
The above aquarium is 18 inches high but i can populate the top with a lot of kubotai rasbora and similar.
I actually kind of prefer the pucallpaensis to the borelli but i think the aquarium is a bit too large for just them.
Thoughts ?
