slash Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 yup, it is. i have a couple of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Yup. And by "these guys" I hope you mean 4-5+, as when you have a small group one often gets picked on. I've found they can take a dislike to certain fish and harass them, but they can make good dithers in tanks of large, aggressive fish.

Jalil30 Posted December 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks.. I have 2. one is about 6in. the other about 4. The larger one does seem to pick on him a bit. Would it be better to separate them? What fish would they get along with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 put other fish in there like a giant gourami or arowana or silver dollars or oscar something similar and big it should spread out aggresion but at times fish will target their own if so, then sell it to me:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frog Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Watch out, they eat plants and nip fins too. Needs big tank and big fish. I have 2, pain in butts really (lol) selling mine as they killed my BNs I had had for about 4-5 years. Now they are outta here! They are about 30+cm now. Fantastic looking fish, great in the right tank, but yer - eat my Bns - loose yur place on my tank! Tanks like 8ftx2ftx2ft and they only juss look like they belong in there. Good luck wif yurs. ! woah thats a big fish lol !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
