Good afternoon,
I Googled this image the other day and placed it as wallpaper on my computer monitor. My wife saw it and advised me they look a lot better than the "stupid discus" that rarely move. That was all the excuse that I needed for a new tank. This is not a fish I've kept before. I know what the books say but I'd be interested to hear advise from those who have experience keeping this particular fish. I have no restrictions on tank size for this set-up other than for convenience I'd like to keep it no larger than a 72x18 or 72x24 footprint. I've thought of using a 48x18 footprint and limiting the occupants to 1M-4F of this type and the same for one other colorful species. Max 10 fish. Perhaps too small? Maybe something 60 inches?
Regards and Thanks,
Stu
