  • that is a nice tanks mate.

    Do you thing piranha's and gold barbs (11), will get along?

  • @mhabibeg9

    I have not had any luck keeping really anything but giant danios. Eventually they all dissapear though. I had 10 Giant danios at one point. I am down to 1 now. Over 6 months though. Since they are cheap I generally repopulate every couple of months. Cichlids do alright as long as they are small. As soon as they get larger they start fighting back which is a fight they can't win. I look at the giant danios and cichlids as a food buffer. Instead of the Ps killing each other.

  • Unfortunately you might have a problem keeping the small fish alive with those piranah but you have a very nice tank. What size is it?

  • @Durang0420 It is a 125 gal. Believe it or not, the cichlids and danios have been in there for about 4 months without issue. The cichlids also had about 60-100 babies about a month ago... the tiny little guys you can see have survived for the month. I dont expect them to live forever but I am definitely suprised they have made it this long.

see all
