2 Tanks Into 1

[Jimbo1984]

Hi,

I've been moving my fish and tanks around recently. I decided my Glowlight Danios and Cardinal Tetras would be better in my 60L tank to make way for some larger fish in my Rio 125. My current fish are below as my signature.

Now I'm thinking of getting rid of the 60L tank altogether and putting everything back in the Rio 125 and was wondering what you guys think. I took out the Juwel filter and use a Tetratec external now so filtration is above average. I tend to stock low anyway.

My main concern is having 2 Bristlenoses in the the same tank. 1 is a 5 1/2 year old male whereas the female in the 60L tank is 1/4 of the size and probably 1 1/2 years old. Would I be putting the smaller one at risk?

Also is there any other potential incompatibility issues I've not thought about?

the danios should be in the bigger tank, they're very active and ideally need a 4ft tank. you could always try the small BN in the bigger tank, and put it back in the smaller tank if need be. certainly it would be better for the fish if it was in the bigger tank.

Yeah you're right about the Glowlight Danios! Mental things. I've got 5 fry in a breeder net in the Rio 125 too so there's going to be more to add to the bunch if they survive. I think I'll do that!

What do you think about a pair of Rainbow Cichlids if everyone else was back in there too?
