Restarting a Monster Comm

[Red Aimara]

Managed to catch the smaller Mala in front of the tank just now.

I meant bio load, autocorrect got me lol.
And so what is the current stock list?

Current:
Red Aro
African Aro
2 Malas
Pleuro
Oscar
Cuban gar
Common Pleco

Incoming: Aimara

Wish list: either one of Odoe / GATF / Brassy

Planning upgrade: either a double footprint tank or similar size depending whether the comm will succeed or not when this batch of small monsters hits 15 inches average.

I say don't go with gatf will require to large of a tank and a setup the rest will not like. Brassy I wouldn't try till you have he bigger tank. Odoe seems like the best option, but not many.

Thanks man. I'd figure I would go for Odoes as well. GATF hardly comes by in the correct size and expensive too (after blowing on the Aimara).

Dorados - not sure if I can get a brassy but they can really upset the balance of my tank.

A LFS buddy has 3 Odoes about 3-4 inches size. I might reserve them and get him to grow them out about 2-3 inches more - possible within a month?

 

[moe214]

I wouldn't say so, and to put in your tank, I'd say you want them larger, because a small silvery fish to your gar sounds like a treat

The tiny terror has landed. Coming in flared up when other tank mates swam close for a check.

Will need to give extra food to the bigger guys so that they won't bother him for awhile until he bulks up.

Also dropping in small feeders and ghost shrimps for a couple of days in for him to eat.

Nice Aimara pick up.

 

[Red Aimara]

Thanks mate.

It actually displaced the smaller Mala and made it parked on a plant.

Cute little Aimara! Hopefully his cousins play nice!
