Spinalcore Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 I am planning on trying a 150+ gal planted Biotope correct tank: 2 males and 3 females with 15 Zebra Danios, 6 Rasboras, 2 Red Tail Black Sharks, and a couple of Clown or Weather Loaches or Cats. It should be big enough to keep the males from fighting and give them their own space. Currently they are all have their own tanks/kits. Mine: 3 Females (1 Blue Crowntail, 1 Cambodian Crowntail, and 1 Steel single tail) 2 Males (1 Pastel Marble Combtail, and 1 Almost Butterfly Steel Crowntail) Kaytania's: 1 Female (Cambodian Crowntail) 1 Male (Tri-color Veiltail) Her Male is in a 10 Gallon Breeder with 1 of my females housed in a glass Lantern Chimney 1 of my males is in the 8 Gallon breeder taking care of the eggs from his second spawn. How are other people housing their's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Spinalcore: A 150 bio-type .... great choice !!!! What are the tanks dimensions[??] I understand that even in a large tank two males will seek out the other and !! I have the oppertuntiy to do a bit of experimenting - lfs - tanks The 40 or 55 gallon [ planted and landscaped ] at the shop - if I place two males in it, they will find each other and fight to the end. Zebra's - fast little devils, I havn't tried mixing them , yet! I might just try this combination, today <_< Red Tail black sharks ... I never turn my back on these buggers :ph43r: Weather loaches - no problem there Rasboras - which species ? I have mixed adult discus with betta splend.. pick and peck :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinalcore Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Not too sure on the Type of rasboras yet. The zebras help keep the bettas inline from my own experiences. They are used as dither fish to distract the more aggresive fish from fighting. The dimenssions of the tank will be at least 60"Lx20"Wx30"H minimum. It will be a really heavy Planted so that it looks a piece of the natural enviroment. I am hoping to see how they would live in their enviroment (or atleast a replica of it). I will keep people updated on the progress of the project after I get it started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
