i have 1 5" rbp that has been solitary his whole life, i would like to add a few more but i am concered about mine being killed- its my first rbp! also can caribe be mixed with reg rbp? the only diff is the black "ear" right? what if i put in p's that were slightly smaller than mine? its in a 29g now but will be upgrading to a 90g soon.
 
There's more than a few 100g's with 5-7 adult pygos....Basic rule is 20g per adult fish...Get the longest tank avaiable, that's no less than 14" wide(18" being bare minumum)...
 
Ya a bigger tank would be good. I say go for it. This is how we learn.I hav never herd of
aneybody doing this only spec.........When you get results let us all know.:headbang2
 
do it, rearange the tank decor at the same time. try to get p's around the same size tho but not bigger if you want ur first rbp ever to live. if he kills others atleast u wont be sad for losing the first.
