Hey all, thinking of making use of my spare tank now I've upgraded to a 4 footer. The new tank has tetra cory danios platys and plecs. Really want something interesting but am struggling to fit in with that stocking. I love the oscars and jack Dempsey, but the spare tank is 25g, 24x12x21.

Am thinking of doing a water bridge between the tanks to share water but filter them to keep them independant fish wise. Water stats are 24/25 degrees, ph 7,2, hardness is mid range on test scale can't remember exact at the mo.

Any suggestions appreciated!
 
Have a look at either Tanganyikan shell dwellers or non-annual killifish. Aphanius mento for example has all the aggression of a JD, and lovely colours, but in a 5 cm package. A male and two or three females should be okay in a 25 gallon system.

Cheers, Neale
