Well I have been looking all over town for a cichlid to add to my tank and there is not much to choose from. I found today some rather healthy looking and pretty firemouths. I curently have a 75 gal. housing:
3 tinfoil barbs 4"
1 opaline gourami 4"
1 pictus catfish 5"
8 danios 2"
My opaline is "king of the tank" and only one I think I need to worry about as of now. I know the danios may be too small as the other fish get bigger. From what I have read the tinfoils shouldn't be an issue. The firemouths are about 3". To reduce fighting in the tank would it be best to add just one or two firemouths ? Will they stand up to the gourami and vice/versa...any threat there ?
I do have a 10 gal. tank I can move the danios to later and the gourami if need be in emergency.
Question is:
How many firemouths to add and what do ya think of me keeping the gourami with them ? Thanks !
