Hi! I have a 55 gallon tank with an electric blue acara, 12 bloodfin tetras, a BN Pleco, 3 Cory Hastatus, 6 Pygmy Cory, and I’m hoping to add 3 more Cory hastatus. Would aggression be a concern if I were to get 1 or 2 more EBAs in the hopes of ending up with a bonded pair? This is the tank. I apologize for the quality of the photo.
I am concerned that if I ended up with a bonded pair, they could become aggressive to their smaller tank mates. I could potentially trade my small pygmy cories for some larger cories, such as peppered cories. Would that make any difference? Do I even have to be concerned? Would the acara be happier with a friend? I want him to be able to interact and show natural behaviors and not have to be alone
