Hello everyone,
Soon I may get my hands on a trio of these fishies.
However I'm rather concerned whether I have everything ready for their arrival.
Basic requirements that I know of and are fully checked:
~100 gallon tank
-lots of overhangs -since they are deepwater species they need additional hiding spaces
-planned feeding schedule: 2-3x a day: flakes/mysis/live mosquito larvae/artemia/krill
-peaceful species (as far as I know)
Concerns:
-Is a 100g tank enough for a trio? (I have heard from someone that they kept multiple in a large 270g tank yet they still picked eachother off until 1 specimen was left)
-Bullying smaller, fragile fish (pipe fish, fire goby, dragonet, yellow longnose butterfly)
Am I missing anything ?
