The rosies continue to be very shy and seem to always be found with other rosies, but lets be honest this is a 10 gallon aquarium and space to spread out is limited. They do stay very low - one or two inches near the bottom.
The inle loaches have spread out quite a bit but can always be found in 2s or 3s and when they do swim around 2 to 4 inches above the substrate and rarely go higher. While i cannot always immediately find them if i wait a few minutes eventually some will show up. I ordered 8 more (after all this is a 180 - 72 inches long and 30 inches wide) to see if that changes their behavior.
The tankmates are very different - in the 10 i have shrimp, 4 lampeye norms and 2 female borelli with the rosie.
In the 180 i have 2 very old male keyholes and bunch of mid size true f1 m. egregius around 1 to 2 inches in size (really pretty at this age as they have blue eyes and frequently show full markings) and 16 or 20 zebra loach (in truth i forget how many i purchased) along with a bunch of orange laser cory (some quite old). There are also a lot of tetras - mostly cardinals, red phantoms and keri or keri relative. So the 180 is quite a lot of fishes but nothing large 'cept the keyholes. I will say the zebra which is normally fairly shy fish do come rushing to the front at feeding time.
Both tanks are around 74 during the winter - the 10 will stay in that 74 range during the summer but the 180 will go up to 79. Last but least both tanks have tap water - approx tds 130.
