Pimelodus ornatus + pimelodus pictus?

Post by neelhound »

Hi I have a 12" pimelodus ornatus in a 6x2x2 and i'm considering adding a shoal of pim pictus, would this be possible if I get large specimens?(more than a third of his size I guess)
Or will there be problems? thanks

I think that should work.

I am also considerign adding a large gold nugget, Ive only kept small ones and have read that these are very territorial. Would this be okay with some pictus and an ornatus or would they fight/it be too crowded? thanks
