Ok so i have recently set up a aquarium and everything so far is brilliant. I have some questions about the fish i would like to put in.
here is the list of fish in my tank so far:
8 Harlequin Rasbora
6 Neon Tetra
6 Cherry barb
5 dwarf cory
I would really like some extra colour and maybe 1 or 2 (at a max 3) really striking looking fish that are really pretty. Someone suggested the German Blue Ram/Cichlid
Otherwise know as the butterfly cichlid?
I have done alot of research on these little guys and i really REALLY want some!!!
I have several questions though. I would prefer to get a pair, male and female and maybe breed them (if i am lucky) but i havent got any other tanks to put them in if this happens. When profiles say that the male can get territorial and aggressive when protecting the eggs how aggressive and territorial are we talking?
Would these be suitable in a community aquarium or would they have to be removed when they breed?
I really do want them. Would it be ok to still have them and just remove the eggs to another place when they breed? Will it make a difference?
Or as a VERY LAST RESULT should i just get one male and thats it?
Would he be ok on his own as the only species in the tank?
Thanks any help is appreciated.
