girlunderrainbow Big Fish Posts: 323 Kudos: 230 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Aug-2003   | Ok paid for at LFS but not taking home till I know which tank is ok for them ,lol. Someone had turned them in, because male killie was aggressive toward the GUPPIES they were in with.. They are about 2" long now.. The tanks I have are a 125 gal 1/2 planted with Pearl Gouramies/Cories/Glass cats/Ottos/Hillstream Loaches/Zebra Loaches/Bristlenose pleco/clown pleco.. OR a 20 gal with baby kribs I am growing out..ottos,and an African butterfly fish (would worry about them being too TOP WATER to put in this tank maybe).. Then I have my son's 12 gal with some Daios.. |

Danios are so hyper I doubt killies would be able to aggravate them much. This opinion is, of course, independent of danio quantity/ stocking factors. On the other hand, the 125 gallon gallon provides plenty of space and plants along with some large fishes. I think the killies could go there so long as you pay attention to their interaction with the ottos. For the latter reason, the 20 gallon tank would be the last resort. |

Ok ..had about decided anyway ..(there are only 2 danios in 12 gal btw).. to put them in the 12 gal.. Son had 2 tetras that are probly too aggressive (Buenos Aires) but had been planning on taking them to LFS and doing something "Different" anyway.. |
