Some advise on set up please
i just picked up 8 rbp that are between 8 and 10 inches and it was sprung on me bad, heard about them day before I got them, they are in a 8 foot 2.5 foot tank with min decore that used to house a jaguar cichlid pair so set up needs to change quick.
Want to know how much open swimming space to provide and how dense to make the cover.
planning on using one end up to about the 1/3 of the tank as cover with drift wood and silk plants (these guys seem to hate the lights so no go on lie plants) want it to be pretty dense and provide good cover for all 8 fish then leaving the remaining 2/3 of tank as open swimming area
is this correct tank lay out
Many thanks mark
