	community fish that won't eat fry
poissonrouge Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 105 Votes: 1 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	I'm thinking of taking my pearl gourami pair out of my community (stock in profile) and putting them into a spare 20g to breed. I was planning on having the pair, 4 cories, 3 otos, and then either a smallish single fish or a little 3/4 school of something else just to fill the middle water. Can you name a fish suitable that could live in a 20g and not threaten the fry? I was thinking maybe 3 sparkling rainbows, or a blind cave fish or 2. any suggestions. preferably not fish that need a whle big school, so not neons etc.

I'm pretty sure they don't need toschool, so getting a single one would be okay. anyone disagree? Also, what about a badis. They have them in at my lfs for the first time ever, and they seem quite cool. but would they eat fry?
