BP w/ fronts

[toehead11183]

I have a 150g tang tank.
i have:
6 fronts 4"
a 1" black calvus
a 2" leleupi
2 2" julies
and 7 clown loaches ranging from 1-4"
i have the tank set up for ACs and my wife really wants a blood parrot. i have 3" BPs at work and she really wants one. could i put one in their safely? How aggressive are BPs. dont have any experience with them other then the ones i have at work.

Well it depends on size, if they are close in size should be fine, but I have never seen or heard of a BP being a problem...

As long as the BP is the newbie to the tank, should be ok! You could always set up a 20-30gal for her and the BP....and keep everyone happy

the BPs are about the same length of most of the fronts. some fronts are a bit smaller.
will the BPs be agressive towards the fronts?
can they take the 8+ pH?

my experiance with BPs say that they r preety hardy fish......i think they can take it.....
BTW how long hav u had the clown loaches in your tank......don't they need soft water??????

i've had some for almost three year. they are doing fine. i have a spare 29 that im trying to sell. i'd set it up but i dont have room for it now

anyone else?

I keep 2 parrots with 5 fronts in my 150 G. The large tank provides a good environment for the mixture . neither are overly aggressive and the parrots have small mouths anyways. both species tend to stick to thier own kind, especially with 6 fronts i would imagine they really only attack eachother.... caves caves caves.
