I currently have a 55gal. with 4 RBPs (6in) and one Pleco (10in) (To answer the thread-only a pleco as a surviving tank mate for almost 1 year). I recently divided the tank w/ a see-through divider and have 2 nickel size Gold Spillos taking up about 12.5gal of this tank. Once the golds get a bit larger, I'm going to try to mix them and see what happens. If carnage breaks out, I'll probably pull them into a new tank, but I only have as of now. I'm a bit nervous though, because at the size the golds are right now, they're already attacking small feeders, and 2 of the same size attacked 2 4in Albino Oscars. Any opinions on this post? Let me know. Always open to suggestions, just remember.. I don't have a whole hell of a lot of money.
Also, I'm about to try blackwater extract in my tank.. Any opinions on this? Can I use a full power 40watt white bulb with this in the water?
Thanks for all the help,
