Question About Females

[MermaidMel]

I am planning on keeping a few girls in my 25 gallon tank, I have in there some flag tetra, emperor tetra, panda cory, ADFs, bristlenose and snails - they be ok in there?

Also, I will aim for 5, but not all at once, maybe like 3 at first then another 2.

So my other question is when I want to add more to the 3 that are in there, put them straight in or take out the 3 over night and put all 5 in together?

you will need to remove the first 3 for about an hour then add all 5 back in together. It is also good, if you can, to move stuff around before you add them all

ahh ok an hour is ok, keep the 3 removed together for an hour or separately? move things around, lol, typical females!!

together is ok as long as they can get out of each others way for the hour

I found that with the males but all my females are in with tetras and there is no trouble on either side. I have silver tip, rosey and lemon tetras in there. The females finnage isn't alot different to that of other fish you put in a community tank so its not as attractive to them

i found that if you put a male VT in with blackskirts in about 2 hrs he looses his VT.
