Ducksta Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hey guys I know many of you breed LFBN. But I'm wondering how they stack up as cleaners in a non-breeding environment. ie. Do the fins get mauled by tankmates and end up looking a bit ragged? Or are they pretty good at avoiding problems. I'm wondering as the Minister for Finance likes the pretty fins, but I don't want to get them only to see them harassed (also, I may get in trouble if her favorite fishes cop a spanking) So is it a yes/no/maybe for long fins with tank mates? And yes, I haven't decided on the overall stocking plan so I can't say which tankmates specifically yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noxious_nasties Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I have kept them in a fry tank with the fry ranging from 3-5cm and lost 8 out ten... They longfin bn were at about 4cm too so I don't know how they'd fair with adult cichlids (depends on the type I guess as well). If you did I'd put adults in and not young ones. I have heard of quite afew others keeping them successfully though so maybe I had it bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
