Swords And White Clouds Ok Together?

[augustaranger]

I want to give a friend some extra white clouds that I have. Are white clouds good tankmates with swords? Will the white clouds eat the sword fry?

white clouds don't normally bother the fry but the adult swords might hassel the white clouds. If the tank is a reasonable size and there is plenty of vegetation they should be fine. Just monitor them over the first few days and if there are any problems take them back out.

i have been keeping white clouds with my swords for quite a while and they seem to be fine together.

Is it OK to keep 2 or 3 swords in a community tank, or do they do better in larger numbers?

 

[Colin_T]

it is fine to keep a couple of swordtails in a tank. Watch the males because they sometimes hassel the females.
