    So I’ve added my dither fish today…….after much deliberation I’ve added a group of 12 neon green tetra. They look really good, the green flash they have looks great with everything. I’m thinking I’ll add another 3/4 to make the group a bit bigger. When they shoal together they look amazing...

    I’m also really stuck with tank mates for them. I want something in there so it does not look so empty but really can’t bring myself to add tetras or pencil fish etc….I’m really not a fan to the point I would not add them and leave it. are there any other fish that have more about them that...

    So would that suggest females from different species would leave each other alone? As they won’t be breeding or am I barking up the wrong tree

    Nice tank! So does the nijensi female breed with the honsloi male? I’ve been offered an Agassiz female would it better to swap one of my females out for this?

    Wow brutal!!! And I thought Africans were bad. So based on this I should keep my one male and 2 females and no more?

    So should I leave it as one male two females as it is and just add more decor plants etc? Or remove one female and leave a pair? And here was me thinking it would be simpler than my Africans lol.
