Is This Wise?

[Mystil]

I was wondering.

I have a "Pair" of BN's in my 120 litre tank. I have also purchased two long finned albino BN's which are very small.

Can I put them in together with my pair? and will they get on okay?

There are plenty of hiding places...It is just that my new tank is showing signs of going through a mini cycle and i dont want to stress my new BN's or loose them (alot of the ones in the shop had hollow tummies- i tried to get ones that did not).

yes they should get on ok. just keep an eye for any probs

Brilliant. They cost me a BOMB which is why I am abit on tenderhooks! for something so tiny I hope they survive.

What should I try with them food wise?

anything and see how they go?

they like algae on the glass best. but i find the best alternative diet for BN's if there isnt much algae. is if there is a very thinly sliced peice of cucumber in the tank. to attach it in the tank you will need a feeding peg woth a suction cup. also catfish pellets and algae wafers

or stick a tea spoon through it

Thanks for your advice! A spoon works wonders! My partner is giving me those funny looks again

My babies seem to have fuller tummies now but I am not getting my hopes up until they have bursting tummies (not literally! )
