Exiledonmainstreet Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Hi. Compatibility shouldn't be an issue, however, that's a pretty small tank for those guys. I'd go with at least a 4 footer, or better yet, a 6 footer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
private rich Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 thanks for your suggestions, but apparently space is an issueso that mean i could only keep a 2 footer.but r u sure that compatibility is not an issue, coz i know that maingano are preeety agrosive.

Lee Miller Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hi Richie,Sorry, but I don't agree that Mainganos are aggressive. I have 15 in a 4' x 18" x 18" and not a split fin anywhere.And they'll be fine with BNs, but a 2 footer is too small. For 10 Mainganos I agree with Exiled, a 4 footer is a minimum.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barca888 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 10 of those things in a 2footer. Even if the fish arent aggressive a small tank always brings out different behaviour in fish. Unless theres a crowding effect. I would probably do very regular water changes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 10 x 9cm maingano in a 2 footer is way to many. Try a male and two females.As for the bristle nose, I don't know too many fish that bother them at 6cm. If your worried give them a shell or somewhere where they can get into but not the maingano.Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
