I'm having a bit of a "going down the rabbit hole" moment. I'm being overwhelmed. I have 2 small Balzani. I don't know what variant they are, where they are from or what sex they are. I assumed all Balzani were supposed to be wintered. Now, I'm seeing that it depends on the variant. How can I figure out the variant on my own? Should I plan to winter them regardless?
Additionally, I'm planning on keeping the two fish in a 75-gallon bowfront tank. Finding suitable fish that can withstand winter temps is problematic. I see people say Severums are good tank mates. Yet, I know they are tropical. I see other geo's in my area like Redhead Tapajo and can find Hecklii but I think those are also tropical.
How would you stock a 75-gallon bowfront with two Balzani that will probably be wintered? Are there any other fish in the 3 to 5" range that are okay to winter in cooler temps?
Can I just add more unsexed Balzani with some Buenos Aires dither fish? If so, how many Balzani? Thanks for reading and helping out.
