adding a silver with an established black

keepinfish · Dec 10, 2009

I got a new silver and wonder if i put him in a community tank if the black will pick on him? they both are about 14"

should i be OK?

You can only tell if it will work if ya try it. Need to have means for separation ready before ya try it, in case needed though.

i know lots of people do it but wonder if they get picked on in the beginning? i have means of separation if needed

I would give it a try because their both about the same size and you have means of seperation if need be, so your ahead of the game

I'll be able to tell you how my attempt works in a few more months.
