I have some young pike cichlids that dont come out except at night, and I was advised to get some dithers. Would 3 spot gouramis work, or would they be too territorial or aggressive or something like that?
thanks!

This coming from a guy who has 4 soon to be large aggressive cichlids in a 55 gall.:rolleyes:
 
10G??? hope u have a bigger tank soon... if the pikes are dat small, they may get beat up by the 3 spots.

wow

they are in a 10 gallon? youn will need a bigger tank but also the piikes are very small so i wouldnt recomend the gouramis. the easiest dither fish for that sized tank are danios


ps optix: they will be moved to a 125 and the piranhas will take my 55:D
