Sids

[jpappy789]

Ok, I just have to ask...

How would a group of Y. sidthimunki do in my 30 gallon? Stock right now is 5 female bettas, 3 otos, and a single ancistrus spp. (bn plec).

I am mainly concerned with:

A) Overstocking/being bottom heavy

B) stressing out the bettas by adding active fish like sids

I figured I might as well ask seeing as people have posted some great online deals. Although with it being winter I'm really unsure about shipping live fish. Possibly a LFS can special order.

Get 10-15 of them. If you can provide floating plants, the bettas will be fine.

Really, that many would work? Sounds a little tight to me...

I have some duckweed (of course) and brazilian pennywort that is floating.

 

[Lupin]

Considering their size, not to me. It's up to you.

It would be cool to have a group that size, for sure. But even at $10 a fish I may have to start smaller...thanks Lup! I've almost made up my mind

I agree with Lupin. They stay really small, 15 would be fine

There are some schistura species that stay rather small too. I have see quite a few tigers for sale lately here.

Unfortunately the places around here are limited in terms of loach stock. Mainly kuhlies, yoyos, clowns and dojos...
