My Azul bass thread

[monsterkeeper87]

thank you, Yea I want some dither fish soon, I’m thinking maybe some black bar silver dollars? Do you think that will work with the bass, tig catfish, Asian aro and a ray long term? that’s my planned stock is for now

All of those should work if they have enough space.The aro might or might not be quarrelsome though.

 

[monsterkeeper87]

Yea I know it’s a risk but can’t think of any other “showpiece” mid/top dwelling fish to fill the gap and I do like them so I guess just hope i get a tolerant one! Lol do you know if any of them are more peaceful than others? Atm I’m thinking either RTG or Banjar red

And my planned tank will be 10’x3’x3’ if possible but if that won’t work in the house we’re moving to it will be minimum of 8’x2.5’x2.5’ so should be enough space, might have to re think the ray if I can only do 2.5 wide though, I’d have to research it more lol

 

[krichardson]

No,I don't know which particular aro species are more or less aggressive.

Had another idea for dither fish... what about angel fish? My wife loves them and I think they look cool but need to know a couple of things. 1. Are they likely to nip the steamers on my tigrinus 2. Will they be ok with the bass? TIA

They'll probably get eaten sooner or later, later if you start with big ones.

Yea I’ve decided against it after reading about others that have tried it, thanks for helping though

Hi again everyone, I want to change the background of my tank and wondered what would be the best colour to compliment the bass, anyone got any recommendations?

In my opinion? Black!
I Love thanx with a Black 3 D background, sand, leaves, beautiful wood, some decent plants and cichla
