My experience with diamond tetras is they are active breeders and shorter life spans the males can develop purple in their dorsal fin
Just giving you information, very pretty fish, the dorsal fin of my males extended past the tail. If you have fin nippers that could be a problem if you have a way to protect the offspring you might be able to go multi generational
Hoplos are a great idea. Striped raphaels too. Also microglanis iheringi although you may not see them a lot.
Fire mouths are Central American cichlids and need to be kept in groups so I would recommend keeping 6 or more, as for tetras I would go with Buenos Aires Tetras as they come from Central America and would work well with the firemouths
ok thanks!
On a previous thread I was told that 4 was a good number in my 75?
It may work but there will be lots of fights and squabbles, I would say get 6 to be safe. It won’t increase your bio load too much anyway
Ok thanks. I have 2 Marineland Magniflow 360 running with weekly water changes so 6 sould work
