American Flag Fish + Others

[Vip]

in my cold water tank i now have 2 paradise fish, American Flag Fish and a rosy barb, im just wondering does this mix work ok? at the moment there chaseing each other around and stuff but it all looks good and also how big does the AFF grow?

2 male paradise fish together is a big no - no, they will fight to the death when they sexually mature. So pick your favourite and get rid of the other one while you can (lfs don't seem to like taking back aggresive fish )

As for the flagfish, they are generally peaceful and grow to around the 6 cm mark.

Although they are considered tropical fish, American flag fish can tolerate lower temperatures, much like many species of corydoras catfish which can survive at room temperatures.

Corys can live in cold water?

Corys can live in cold water?

Some species like the bronze cory can live at a room temperature of around 20 dc.

Pepered corys are often regarded as a cold water species too
