Electric Blue Acara with Leopard bushfish in 30 gallon cube?

[LAsianFishTanks]

Have this pretty wide 30 gallon cube tank and was thinking about stocking it with A pair of EBAs and a Leopard bush fish. And possibly some Congo tetras. You think they would all get along?

Congo tetras need some swimming space. How wide is your tank? Plus people generally recommend having at least 6-8 Congo tetras in a tank.

You describe the tank as a cube, which means it will have a smaller footprint than a rectangular tank. Can you give us the dimensions of the tank, please.

My tank is 24x24x12, it’s pretty wide for a 30 gallon

I vote NO on both acaras & congo tetras. They both need more room. I have no thoughts on the leaf fish except they seem kind of boring just hanging out near the surface not moving much.

You'd be better off thinking about apistos & small tetras...but the leaf fish would likely eat them.

Rethink you fish for that tank, you need smaller, more compatible fish

It's the swimming length that is important to fish and yours is just 24 inches/60 cm long. Acaras need at least twice that length, as do congo tetras.

I agree with Fishorama and essay.
