	tankmates?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Would keyholes and flag acaras (Laetacara curviceps) be good tankmates or not? I have an unsexed pair of keyholes, and saw the acaras at a lfs the other day, thought they looked interesting. Just throwing around ideas (again ). ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Flag acaras can be somewhat territorial when breeding/fry raising has occurred, but I don't think that they would be overly aggressive. As long as the keyholes had places to hide, they'd probably do just fine. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

They may get a little testy during spawning time, but space and hiding places will help. They are a little more sensitive to nitrates than Keyholes, but will not present a problem in most tanks. Best wishes for your fishes!
