would there be many disputes in a tank containing 2 alto calvus and 15 C.leptosoma Utinta? and are there any other compatible fish to go in with these guys?
the tank is a 6x2x2.
thanx
Elliot

Hey Elliot, The calvus and leptos are a perfect combination. With regards to tankmates, as someone will no doubt suggest frontys just be careful because you have to remember that fish get bigger and something like frontys eat leptosoma naturally in the wild. It could end up being an expensive dinner eventually :eek

this tank will hopefully be a long term investment and i dont want it turning out like my other tanks where theres only a couple of big fish left because they've eaten their tankmates. so this time im getting fish that can live together their entire natural lives and not just for a year or two.
i like frontys but theyd probably fit better into my barramundi and peacock bass tank. :good

i also want the calvus pair to be the tanks wow fish so the tankmates will probably be either a schooling fish or a rock dwelling species that wont hunt down rouge cyp fry out of the rockwork too excessively.:rolleyes
that narrows it down a bit eh :p
cheers for the reply
Elliot
