I read that they are a good community fish, so if I wanted to add some in with my Cardinals and black fin (skirt?)tetras it should be ok? I was thinking about adding five or six. http://a1272.g.akamai.net/7/1272/1121/20040928145709/www.liveaquaria.com/images/ products/bigimage/lg_89938.jpg Hello my name is Steve and I am an addict   sully Ancient Plus Username: sully Post Number: 8403 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 07:24 am:        how big is your tank. 2 would fit well in a 29. 4 in a 55-75. They would be great with the fish you list if the cards are mature--if they are wee cards the rams might like to snack. "I usually read the obituaries first.

They are only small up to two inches? Hello my name is Steve and I am an addict. New 35 gallon and the old 20..   sully Ancient Plus Username: sully Post Number: 8410 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Sunday, March 19, 2006 - 06:51 pm:        i wuld only go with a pair--opposite sexes. or, 3 of the same sex. do not go with a 2:1 sex ratio. you will find a dead fish that way.

(I have one in my 60 and am happy with that, and he's doing OK, but I'd get another if it would be better for him).   sully Ancient Plus Username: sully Post Number: 8414 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, March 20, 2006 - 10:26 am:        To be honest, I have never had "just one". lol. My wife wishes i had, but just have not done that. They are a fairly social fish. Groups or pairs might be best. Can't say that just "one" is bad. "I usually read the obituaries first.
