5 Exodon and wishful thinking

[UES96]

Any chance 5 exodon could successfully co-inhabit a 55g tank with a delhezi poly, bristlenose pleco, and a rope fish. Would the dark color of these fish prevent or limit the exodon's attacks? I think I know the answer ..........

I wouldn't risk keeping exodons with anything but themselves.

This is what I feared. I have 4 tanks in our small apartment, and I think the wife will leave me if I buy another one.

Yes dont keep them with any other fiah as they are notorious fin and scale eaters......also i would recomend the bare minimum being 10-12 exodons bc they pick on each other and this will help spread aggression

I had heard that they will target 'silvery' fish ahead of dark colored fish. But I hear your warning., thanks. Life being single would have its upsides....

Armored catfish would be better tankmates. But not polys and ropes like the others have mentioned.

 

[UES96]

thanks for your advice.

I started out with 21 exodons and ended up with 18 due to their aggression. Only tankmates that I kept with them are armored cats. Tried adding other fish but had to take them out. Definitely a species only tank.

you think a BN pleco will be ok?

5 exodons can't be worth more than the love of your life haha
