what size tank are those all in... looks like you have some aggresive fish between the two male dwarfs and a rainbow shark, all of which were beautiful none the less :clap:
Oh I am VERY overstocked right now, I am doing 30%-50% water changes every 2 day's I only have a 30/g at the moment. I am moving up to a 55, I have the tank on the way I thought I was going to get it today, but the guy wants to wait until after Christmas now. I know I'll end up needing a bigger tank than that but for now that is the best I could do.
As far as aggression, they all do pretty good together my dwarfs, the blue one has claimed the left side of the tank and the other the right side, every once in a while they will end up next to each other and give a little chase but never anything harmful to each other. My rainbow is a silly one, he mainly hangs out in the ship and at the bottom of the tank then he gets a wild hair and has to chase each fish in the tank, but he has never really tried to hurt anyone, only time he was really mean was when he killed the other rainbow I had. Yes now I know you can't have 2 in the same tank, but my son got the tank and went by what the LFS told him and believe me he was GROSSLY misinformed!! We had 3 bala, 2 rainbow, 2 columbian, 2 dwarfs and 2 irridesents in the beginning!!!! The sales guy told him they would all be fine together and would be fine in a 30/g tank (they wont outgrow their enviornment you know) :mad2:
We lost the columbians, found a new home for the irridesents and now have the dwarfs, 1 rainbow, balas, and 5 blackshirt tetras (another one of my sons great ideas).
Thanks for the compliment though, I love my guys!!
