Hi,
I just got 2 pair of Eliza last night. The males are about 1.2 inches long, with one female about 3/4 of an inch with good color. The other female is tiny with little color, maybe 1/2 inch. She seems to be trying to swim away from everyone in the tank, which includes: 3 medium size blue emporer tetra, 6 larger coffee bean tetra and 6 cardinals. All in my 40 gallon breeder.
I am considering sectioning off a small piece of the tank with a divider for the tiny Apisto, to let her grow out a bit. Is this necessary? Will she be bullied to death by the larger fish in the tank? Those tetras can be pushy.
Any insights appreciated. Thanks.
