Temporarily place my L200 with larger L190?
Posted: 11 Jan 2024, 13:43
Hi I have two 200l tanks, yes none are particularly large but they are heavily filtered.
one has a single L190 royal panaque and a few pencil fish in it and the other has an L200 green phantom and a few tiny king tiger plecos. I'm wanting to sell both tanks and move into something larger.
the L190 is much larger than the green phantom and has its own tank with loads of bog wood in. Whist the royal is relatively small comparative to how big they get, its much heavier than the phantom, id say 3x. Could I temporarily put them together whilst I sell one tank, free up the space and get a 400l?. also can they live together harmoniously longer term if there's enough wood and hiding places or do I risk the L200 getting beaten royally. I'd rather not sell some fish if I don't have to, but granted there not perfect tank mates from a diet and territory perspective.
thanks for any advice.
