Could you guys please give me some info on these guys? I have a heavily planted 90g with a several groups of small schooling fish. Wanted to know if these guys would be ok with cardinals, black neons, etc. Also want to know if these fish will dig up my plants? Lastly do I need a group to have them color up nicely or do they do ok solo?
 
What about just the laetacara with cardinals? Would they exist together peacefully?

If they can fit it In Their mouth they will eat it. Unfortunately our male regani pike killed our female today.

They will eat the cardinals IMO. Our reganis and laetacara both destroy feeder guppies every now and again. Both are very cooo fish and should do great in a 90 gallon.

Incase you guys were wondering. Decker was right. laetacara does not do well with small cardinals. They are fine with the "jumbo" ones though
 
Any of you guys that keep laetacara are they destroying your plants? Some fish is eating the new growth from my red melon sword and lace plant and think it is them.
