Ca/Sa communtiy only tank attempt.

[ProblEmZ]

ugh i really messed up this one bad. After the death of giant danio's i felt i need more target/dither fish. Probably didn't need them, but wanted more fish(famous last words heh). So i tried to make it with smaller tetra's in keeping with the CA/SA theme.

3xSerpae tetra
2xLamp eye tetra
2x other smallish tetra species.

Here's who was in the tank before i added them

6" Gold Female Severum
1 6" Leporinus
1 4" FemaleConvict
1 4" Rainbow Cichlid
1 5" Islantum

i think you know what would happen.


edit- this "experiment" was jsut under one year ago.

Not a good idea. Add some speedy fish as dithers. Tough scrappy ones.

None of those are tough enough to be dithers. You don't really need anything else as a dither with the leporinus. They can hold their own with just about any ca/sa.

Put some .75" cons as dithers. But you woldnt really need 'em anyway.

Yeah I have no plans on adding anything until somebody passes (hopefully none too soon). Or I get another tank.

Dont think anyone would pass for quiet a while.
