I am currently doing a fishless cycle in a planted 10g at home. I have a 40g with 4 angels, 6 serpae tetras, and 5 green coydras. I also have a 5g in my son's room that is cycling as a future home for two fry that a new addition to a tank at work surprised us with.
My intention is to move the tetras into the 10g because they are nippy, and crowding the angels.
There is another issue in the tank at work though. There are two dwarf gouramis in the tank, but one of them is really young... he is very small, and hasn't even colored up yet. The older gourami is constantly picking on him, so my co-workers want me to take him home with the fry. I'd like to put him in the 10g.
Do you think 6 serpaes and 1 dwarf gourami will be too crowded?
Do you think the serpaes will pick on the gourami?
Do you think he ought to go into the 5g even though it will have two growing platys?
I really do want to "rescue" him, but what to do with him?
