I have been thinking about getting a pair/trio of these fish (depending on how the shops sell them), but during my on-line researches I came across a site that warned against keeping dither fish with them. The writer had kept some with neon tetras and the cockatoos had systematically hunted them all till there were none left.
Now I'm wondering if I dare have any, as I have green neons in my tank, and they're even smaller than ordinary neons. Has anyone ever kept cockatoos with small fish? If I can't keep them in my community tank, is a 60 litre tank big enough for them on their own?
