Kartoon Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi AllWas in Neotropical aquariums in Chsterhill on the weekend and could not help my self. Saw some beautiful Acei and picked some up :D. My question is can i place the Acei in to my Saulosi tank? I have 5 Acei around the 6 cm mark and my Saulosi tank has 14 Saulosi around the same size. I have the Acei in my Praecox tank at the moment but i would like to move them to the bigger tank.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltcraig Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 G/Day Mate What size is the tank you want to stock both fish inBy fish should get on well as the acei likes to be a open water swimmer and the Saulosi would like to defend a rockWouldnt house together in anything smaller than a 4ftRegardsCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoon Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Hi CraigSorry forgot to mention the Saulosi are in a 4 ft tank. So you think they should be ok? The reason i ask is my saulosi have already claimed 2 cories (mistake to begin with i know) and 2 common bristle nose suckers. i would hate to lose these Beauties as well.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltcraig Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 HiI would empty the tank of all rock work and then add fish then put the rock work back inThis should break up all existing territory and you should be fineRegardsCraig P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartoon Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sweet sounds like a plan might give that a go tonight. Thanks for the advice Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What type of Acei? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwandana Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 HiI would empty the tank of all rock work and then add fish then put the rock work back inThis should break up all existing territory and you should be fineRegardsCraig PThis.My experience is Saulosi seem to be fine with lots of different fish if they grow up with them.Add something to a tank of established Saulosi and look out, WW3 will more often than not break out.Keep a close watch on what happens in there and be prepared to pull the Acei if necessary.

Kartoon Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi GuysSorry they are Acei (Msuli) the blue with yellow tail ones. I will give it a go on the weekend so i can keep an eye on them. Thanks for the input guys.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 because they are msuli, they might get picked on because of their blue clouring. Good luck mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzman Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 i have successfully kept small colonies of both of these together with no problems at all. they should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
