Long time no see, I just started working at a small countrymax in January and wanted suggestions on where to place certain fish.
What I want to know is what fish can be grouped together in each different tank without causing the fish harm or stress.
For example, we currently have individual tanks for barbs, gouramis, African cichlids, and Rams species tanks to name a few. We do not have a large area to work with and so need to maximize knowledge of compatible fish that can be in tank together.
For instance what "type" of tank would a small spotted ctenotoma go in? What other fish would mesh safely within that tank. What is compatible with small angel fish?
For more oddball or aggressive fish, can a properly sized ghost knife fish go in with the pike cichlid and fire mouth cichlid? What species could go safely in a tank with these species.
What about a young blue flowerhorn cichlid? What can go in with him?
I'm trying to be able to have more variety of fish for our customers while keeping conditions right for any fish we may get. I could really use some ideas.
