BP tankmates

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My LFS doesnt get BP's often.
Just went to day to check.
Had a 2'' silver aro! Smallest I've seen. Had some pbass aswell I wanted but I dont have room.

Just gotta keep my eyes open.
 
Petsmart? Yeah, Petco aswell but its an hour away.
I might go next weekend just to look...
 
Yeah, I've never bought fish from either of them before.
I dunno though, if I cant find any good looking BP's, I'll have to just take a peek at petsmart.

Like I sad before, the 35G is a growout.
The dats grow really slow, so it works for them.
If the BP's outgrow the tank quickly I can move them to a larger tank.

Once the dats outgrow the 35 they'll be moved into a 4x2x2 and then I could re-unite the BP's with them.
:D

Oops sorry, I thought you meant the 35 was a growout just for the dats. If they're in a 4x2x2, I say go for it! :)

I might just wait until I actually get the 4x2x2 to get the BP's as the BP's will outgrow the dats and then I'll have to find a place for them to go.

Still going to look out for them though...

Some BPs grow fast but most grow relatively slowly, at least in my experience. It would take at least 6 months for a 2" individual to reach 6", and most take much longer than that.
