darkangel Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I am thinking of shutting down all my tanks except one. I would like to put my galaxy rasbora's & green shrimp into my planted tank with cardinals and neons. The largest fish in this tank are 8 assorted cories, 3 LF BN plecs, 4 SAE's, and a group of zebra loaches(5). The tank is 72 gal heavily planted with filtration for 300+ gal. Will this work or do I need to get rid of some fish as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I should be OK, but the cardinals may work on your galaxies - I've seen a school of cards go after healthy fry after picking off a weak one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werner Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I'd worry about the loaches and shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkangel Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I should be OK, but the cardinals may work on your galaxies - I've seen a school of cards go after healthy fry after picking off a weak one. My school of cardinals started out at 80 and is now 100+. The school of galaxies started out at 10 and is now over 30, might be a war for the galaxies that they can't win. I'd worry about the loaches and shrimp. I'm not too worried about the shrimp. The whole idea of them was they reproduce and serve as food for the galaxies to reproduce. The cardinals are doing just fine with reproduction on NLS grow & brine shrimp. I might have to leave it at 2 tanks running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
