African_Fever Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Adult mono's are marine, so probably not the best to keep with your freshwater fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I've found that decoy fish work great with most shy fish. There are many advantages to using them. They are great for letting the rest of the tank know if its feeding time for example. And there great for raising the confidence of your shy fish, and they make good punching bags for your males. Sparing the good fish. Why not look into some swordtailed molly or something that is cheap and can be readily replaced but looks some what attractive.

African_Fever Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Swords generally aren't quick enough for a cichlid tank and would get beat on pretty quickly. Decoys are what the dithers are, just a different name for it. Many use rainbows and giant danios b/c of their speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
