I picked up a dozen juvenile red tailed gooeids, Xenotoca eiseni, yesterday at a club auction but realized when I got them home that I really have no idea how to care for them. I put them in an almost unused tank that had only corydoras in it until the goodeids were added. Now it has 12 goodeids and 8 corydoras habrosus in it. The temperature according to what I have found on line doesn't matter much and the goodeids seem quite happy in the tank exploring it. I always was concerned about the hardness and pH being a bit too high for my cories so I guess the goodeids will like that aspect. The tank is only a 29 so I need to get my 50 gallon set up soon as I think they will outgrow the 29. I have spirulina flake and sticks available, a good balanced growth pellet and of course the usual general purpose flakes and small frozen foods. I was thinking of feeding mostly the spirulina flake and the growth food with once or twice a week treats of the frozen stuff.
Is there anything I am missing or will this be OK for them?
