Does anyone have experience with this fish? I'm thinking of adding one to a peaceful community tank that includes a Dwarf Gourami, Dwarf Rainbow, Angel Ram, a few Platy, a few Oto, and several Cardinals.
i do... just don't pay that much cash for they... the last time i got some i got 10 of them... they were Mikrogeophagus ramirezi species... pretty cool guys... i've never seen them fight before...
i also had the balloon type... but i don't think those guys could breed, so i gave them away really quick...
I've going to stick with the fish I have but choose one and add 2-3 more of that species to round out my tank. The largest single fish in my tank to choose from would be a Dwarf Rainbowfish, a Dwarf Gourami, or an Angel Ram. I'm told the Angel Ram is a topic because it isn't clear exactly what species it is. The lfs told me (I know) that it is a Ramirezi.
So in your opinion is there a best choice among them to add 2-3 more of that particular species and leave the other two as singles?
Other than them I have 9 Cardinal Tetras, 3 Otocinclus, 3 Blue Platy. My tank is 37 gallons.
I appreciate you taking the time to consider my problems! I'm tired of making rookie mistakes and making my inhabitants (and me) miserable. I just want a reasonably peaceful tank....
I completely agree. I made a mistake in getting these individual fish, but I'm trying to work with it as best as I can at this point. I've got the 3 of them and the damn things won't die. :) I'd love to get 2-3 of each but my tank isn't big enough.
Any creative solutions for my fish quandry? (I know, wrap 'em in a towel and put 'em in my trunk.) I don't want to return any to the lfs without first trying because this was my mistake and not theirs.
lol... i have a good/bad habit of keeping all of the bags the fish come in... under my tanks it's all cluttered up, but worth it when i have to get rid of a small fish for some reason... either back to the LFS/breeder, or to a friends/customer's tank...
