alanmin4304 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I have nigeriatum males in a four foot tank along with siamese algae eaters, clown loaches, sterbai cats and all are doing well. There are also choc and gold australe males. The tank is heavily planted and I think that keeps them a lot happier. I would stay away from different males and females becauseyou don't want them to cross and also nothos because they like a bit of salt and the plants are better off without it.

snookie Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 nothos ? ? didnt realise they could cross breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Nothobranchius species. Gardneri blue, yellow, albino and nigeriatum will cross as will australe gold and chocolate. Males of different types are usually OK if you have lots of plants and they are a similar size. Females are too similar and can get mixed up and therefore inadvertently crossed.
