Guys

 

I overcrowded a tank so got another one. Just trying to work out the mix to keep them all peaceful.

 

Tank 1                                                    Tank 2

182cm long                                            80cm long

400l                                                         150l

 

Frontosa x 5 10cm to 20cm                    Venusta x 1 15cm

Peacocks x 6 6cm to 15cm                     Electric Yellow x 3 5cm to 8cm

Blue Dolphin x 1 8cm                              Pulpican x 5 4cm to 6cm

Red Saddle Tropheous x 1 8cm             Cabco x 3 4cm to 8cm

Silver Shark x 1 12cm                             Flameback x 1 6cm

Clown Loaches x 5 8cm                          Maingano x 1 8cm

 

 

Obviously I would like to keep the bigger fish in the bigger tank (I'm worried about the smaller fish getting eaten by the big fronty).  Can anyone see any problems with this mix or suggest alternates.  Both tanks have lots of granite rocks stacked and crushed coral substrate.

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

I'd be more concerned with the venustus eating tank mates than the fronty. Other than that it seems ok

Yes I always found once the predator haps got around 12cm they get very aggressive
