A shipment of wild D. filamentosus "Barcelos" came in over the weekend and by the time I got to the LFS, only 1 female was left. I was advised that a reverse trio was the way to go and so I happily left with 2 males and the sole female.
Now that they're in my tank, however, I'm feeling 3 is too little and am thus thinking of adding 2 more in. Would the lone female be overly stressed with 4 guys wooing her, or is it ok to have 4 males to 1 female?
I have access to import small quantities wild D. filamentosus from Hong Kong, but the exporter is unable to confirm the locality for me, and I'm not really keen on mixing the locality and getting 2 females from him.
Can anyone advise if I should get 2 more females for a 2 male 3 female group, or would 4 males 1 female or even 4 males and 3 females be recommended?
