Hi there, hope you're all doing well.
A week ago I received a nice pair of A. borelli to put in my 64l (16 gal) tank (60x30x36cm, 23x12x14in) and the two have settled in nicely.
I was wondering if I could add around 8 Nannostomus marginatus or if that would be too much? Would the N. marginatus be aggressively trying to predate on the borelli fry?
I've kept a pair of borelli in a 90l tank with 15 green neons and the borellis were horribly stressed by trying to defend their fry against the neons, which in the end they didn't succeed in. The borellis fell ill which I attribute to the stress, so I definitely want to avoid that kind of situation.
Attached is a pic of the tank.
