comments - stocking level/tankmates

[Paullywolly]

Seeking some feedback (and, truth be told, bored at the office and daydreaming of my tank….

I just set up a 75G long with only rocks and driftwood décor, muted lighting. It currently houses a 4-5” green severum, a juvi pike cichlid (c. sveni, 8-10” max, only 3” now), and a juvi gold saum (3” or so).

Think a tiger dat would work in there? They actually have some in at the LFS which is rare – about 4” or so, they look good although hard to tell since they’re all stressed out (no cover in the store tanks). I want to make sure the tank doesn’t get overcrowded as these guys grow.

Also, thoughts on dither fish? Needed/not needed/helpful? Any suggestions?

Thanks! That just killed like 10 minutes… only 6 hours to go.

convict breeder, you really shouldn't give advice, because its all bad. bad advice doesn't help, and lots of noobs don't know whats right and wrong, so when you post, they usually follow your advice not knowing that they are going to end up with either dead fish or very sick fish.

and a dat may work for a while, but definately not 2
