i have 30 cardinals in my 6foot tank, all of which are fully grown, between 3 and 4 cms. i bought 10 tiny new ones today, and the school looks GREAT, as it looks like my old crew have had babies!

long time no hear. These are in the tank with the beautiful sword layout, right? I bet they do look great in there, being such a nice big school.


Cheers

it's a highly individualised situation with cichlids, as you're aware mez. the most aggression comes from the two pandurini females (who are stunning and don't like each other). the male is a lot older and seems very sure of his alpha status, and the agassizi are all young and easily intimidated - but who knows what might happen when the male grows.

I think you will be capable of dealing with any situation that arises, i was just interested. Your tanks is probably one of the only "almost apisto biotope" that ive seen on here, and hope that it works well for you.
