I have 2 black moors in fantastic health! They have perky fins and rich black color, almost like velvet. They are about 4 or 5 inches in length. The only problem is, there isn't much movement. They drift around and forage, beg for food, etc but they aren't really fast.
...Or hyperactive. They are the only fish in an unheated 29 gallon tank. I do a 40% change every week. There are no live plants but I am going to get some sort of moss when they are stocked.
So I want to add a small coolwater species like a danio or something. I read in one place that they don't mind an unheated tank. Do two small moors stock the tank fully, or is there enough room for 5 or so zebra danios? It really looks empty. I heard a few general rules for stocking goldfish;
"first one 20 gallons, then 10 per each additional"
and "10 gallons each"
and "10 gallons minimum for fancy, 20 for common"
It doesn't matter if their diet is different, I could just feed the goldfish pellets and peas too big for the danios, and the danios would get most of the tropical flakes. What say you all? The moors are almost 2 years old, the tank has been set up for 2 years.
