My thorichthys helleri tank and hello

[Stanzzzz7]

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and this is my first post here. I have been lurking and reading threads for a while and thought it was time I joined in.
This is my Mexican tank and houses 11 thorichthys helleri laguna catazaja and a group of x helleri Rio otapa swordtails.

Beauties... I had some of these last year... The males can get quite aggressive.

Nice.
I must say mine have been quite laid back.
I have them in a 4 foot tank at present but they will be going into a 7x2x2 soon.

You should be ok... They're not hyper aggressive or nasty like Ellioti. But I had two males that kept attacking eachother so ended up moving them on. I regret it in a way as they are a very nice fish, and I like your approach to keeping them.

Hopefully I won't have any problems.I have had them since they were no more than fry at around 15 mm.I am a fan of thorichthys and have kept many over the years.I must say that these helleri must be my favourite so far.
