[Experiment397]

ok so would it be ok with theese tank mates?
female jack dempseys2
red texas1
blood parrot1
red tail cuda1
buenos aires tetras6(yes i know they will eventually be eaten they are the testers)
green terror1
and 1 bushnose pleco?
or would it get beat up? yes it will be slightly overstocked but to cope with that i will be running an fx5 and a marineland biowheel emperor 250. thnx

Ive found blood parrots to be pretty aggressive too.

ok actually the cuda is a very passive species, A. altus, not falcatus. and the green terro is still a maybe. the red texas is very shy and will check out any new tank mate, but after that he goes back to drifting in the filter input current. sorry i guess i should have done scientific names and individual personalities. so that in mind will he be ok? also the blood parrot cant even harm anything bigger then an endler's livebearer...
