umbee def for big tank other you decide.
 
festaes and carpintis in the small.
umbees and cubans in the big.
I'll try that out. my next step is to determine the sex of all these fish so I could thin the population out a bit.
thanks all. You know its good advice when you see toronto fish boy, followed by the galloping green worm horse and the golden Jag.
 
The problem is that the 1" umbees will be tiny, espicially if you got them from Aquabid. I bought mine from there and they're crazy small. I definatly wouldn't want to risk losing any umbee, so I'd keep them in a tank by themselves for a while before you try and keep them with tankmates.

True if they're that small they'll be delicate. Do you have like a 20 or 30 gallon growout you could use for a few months? Better safe than sorry.

umbees in the 70 by themselves and everything else in the 168 to grow out.
after a while you will need to decide if you want to get another tank or sell some of them.
 
I see your point. And yes, I bought all these fish with plans of keeping pairs and selling off the rest. I do have another 70 gallon with a few ebjds that I never considered.
Cookiemonster, I did order them from the same guy. How are these F1 umbees. was it a good buy?
