Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	I am interested in info on this fish i heard they breed in lower temps like 68 degrees. I could put my tank in the basement with a heater to keep it at 68, a question i have is what are possible tank mates that can tolerate the cold as well? preferably some bottom feeders and something to eat algae.

Fallout Moderator Communications Specialist Posts: 6416 Kudos: 4053 Votes: 742 Registered: 29-Jul-2000	Yes, the madagascar lace plant is a very nice plant, preferring cooler temperatures of 60-75 fahrenheit or so. The one i got didn't like 78, and it just kinda croaked out. One should do well if you have the right parameters editage i guess i should link to some dOOds picture Last edited by Fallout at 16-Dec-2004 20:25
