Changing my 15 gallon stock - Aquarium Advice

unknown_7 · 05-06-2007, 12:44 AM

Hello,

So I havea a 15 gallon, that has 2 otos, 2 white clouds and 4 black skirts. I really hate this setup because the otos always hide (which isn't a problem) and the black skirts always hide and fight with one another. I decided to help my brother by taking these guys from him, cause he had a fish in his tank that was harassing them, but now they're bullying one another and all they do is hide, so right now, my tank is MIA. So far, I am thinking of ditching the black skirts, i.e., giving them back to my brother to be re-harassed by wutever fish was harassing them and maybe restocking this tank. What do u guys think? Do you have any other suggestion(s) or solutions? What should I restock with?

I should also probaly mention for restocking I was going for peaceful and colorful, and I was considering MAYBE putting a snail eater in there.

I would loose the skirts too, then go from there, maybe a small loach of some sort

Thx.

I was wondering, even though I am not a real big fan of black skirts, if I can save them from being harassed by a red-tailled shark I would keep them I just want them to some out from hiding and to school more than fight at one another. What if I used them as a dither fish with a smaller less aggressive fish (than the red-tail im saving them from). Is this possible? With what fish?
