Missed that when you stated your stocking. Do they like to hide for the most part or are they very active? only saw the one in the video cruising along
Must be pretty cool to watch them all feed. I am really leaning in that direction of a stocking very similar to yours. Did you ever try a school of tetra in there?
I saw a few similar type tanks with them and wondered how they didnt turn into dinner.
I think it can work for some if the tetras are added fully grown and the gt's as juvies. I think the right sized catfish are more suitable and a safer option.
I can't recommend Hoplo's enough.They became as interesting to me as the gt's.
In the wild they act as cleaner fish to much larger fish, cleaning parasites off their skin.A lot like marine cleaner shrimps.
They used to do this to the gt's and the gt's seemed to enjoy it.
They are also easy and interesting to breed.They build a large bubble nest at the surface of the tank and deposit their eggs in it,very similar to gourami.

They look very interesting and entertaining since they are constantly moving from what I have seen and researched. They will be in the tank for sure. Thinking about it more and more that I would keep the emerald corys in the tank to help sift and clean the sand substrate. Im assuming I would have to add the corys, hoplo, and four line pictus first and let them grow then add juvenile GTs to the mix?
