convict tank question

[ChilDawg]

So get the Acaras a little larger b/c they'll have some territory by the time the Cons mature. This little mix-up may work to your advantage.

yes thats what my lfs said as well. although 4 three inch fish will probably get along failry smoothly in a 75 gallon, but i will get the smaller ones anyways, just because they look nicer. also can i get any bottom feeders for the tank or no?

i got 2 small convicts, and a tulipia. they seem kinda scared when i walk by the tank and dont scramble to the surface looking for some food like i thought they would. what can i do to help them feel more comfortable?

dithers top dwellers will make the con's feel more secure. My eventually got used to it because I didn't really want to add any top dwellers but they are still skittish about feeding so its a quick dart to the top and haul ass back down. The female is a lil more brave as she will tend to stick around some times up top.

any suggestions on some top dwellers? i got a spotted raphael for the bottom, and i will be getting blue acaras soon.

zebra danios are my pic of the day for a small tank containing con's.

 

[optix]

could you refresh my memory on the tank size.

 

[caz]

they are in a 75 gallon

 

[optix]

ooooh well then, in that case why not some silver dollars . I didn't know they were in that big of a tank.

 

[caz]
