Bare or with decors and substrate???

[ceejaye23]

help me out here MFKers. I used to have an Amazonian set up before, gravel, lots of plants and driftwoods. Now I have a bare set up. I did the change upon introducing my armatus trio to take land marks and territories. It worked for all of my fishes including the dats who would fight over a landmark or a piece of plant or driftwood.

Now everybody's fine, no territories and fights but I want to put the decors and the Amazon set up again. Will this create problems over territories for the armatus trio thus resulting to fights??? If I only add substrate, will it be the same?

Please help armatus experts.! Thanks

yes i agree atleast a few "regions" for fish to shuffle around with. I think if done correctly, it's better than bare, probably closer to what they are attuned to instictually, and there by less stress. all variables constant this requires a substantially larger tank.
