purplecatfish Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 As the subject says what species can be kept together in a community tank? And also which species should never be kept together because they will hybridise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Here is a pic of mine along with a bit of brown algae. There are males only--look better and can't cross. I have golden and choc australe and nigerianus and albino gardneri. Because I don't have many tanks I can keep the females together and the males together, but I only keep strains where I can identify the females. Fundulopanchax will boss australe but are ok if it is a well planted tank and plenty of places to escape to or hide. The pic realy only shows nigerianus because that is what I wanted a pic of but there are chocs (front left) and albino (out of focus at the back) Gold australe are a bit small but will go in later.

Aaron-Betta Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Sorry to high-jack the thread. Alanmin, I just created a small male community tank with most of my males i'm not breeding at the moment. I must say they do look awesome together.

alanmin4304 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like them. Just watch the australe don't get bullied by gardneri---plenty of plant helps I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
