Centromochlus musaicus in community tank?

Post by Catfish-ologist »

Hello,
I have a question on the Ninja Tatia before I get some.
The tank I am thinking about putting these beauties in is a 75g community tank, this tank has no predators and even has a school of Cory's.
My biggest concern is this tank is running at about 84 degrees F (28.8 degrees C) are they capable of handling this heat?
Thanks,
-- Sean

Thanks Eric,
Is there a minimum school size???
I would have room for about three, is this enough???
I am not trying to breed these in this community tank... maybe later I can get them a 20long for them selves.

I don't know, but I don't think they really "school" or "shoal" like tetras or corys.
