deane Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I saw some fish in the shop the other day that were swimming together in a school. They were swarming around the tank and it looked awsome. It was a salt water tank though. Are there any chiclids that are fairly small 4-5cm that 'swarm' or school together like that? I have a 3 foot tank and would love to fill it with 10 or 15 of that type of fish. Cheers Deane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR73 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 My P. saulosi fry swarm when I feed them. Seriously though, you could try saulosi. They grow to about 4" however the females regular form a bit of a school and follow the glass walls of the tank back and forth, which is a bit of a swarming spectacle. In a 3ft you could only have one male as they're very agressive conspecifally, but with a good filter system you could add 5-6 females maybe more.

anchar Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Hi Deane, For "swarming" fish I think G. acei are a great choice. They are reasonably inexpensive, breed easily, very tolerant of other species (and each other) and relatively undemanding. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
