So, I went to the LFS last night and saw that they had a show tank (one of those 6 gal Hagen Fluval Edge tanks that look like a glass "cube" with no additional filtration, except what comes with that kit) with:
-~10 Cardinal Tetras
-3 dwarf puffers
-a lot of red cherry shrimp (more than 15)
-nerite snails
(its overstocked, I know)
I am planning on turning my 20gal into a DP tank (DP, shrimp and otos) but it would be cool if I could add some cardinals. Everything I have read about DP says otos and shrimp (hit or miss with shrimp) are the only tankmates, but I watched this tank for half hour last night and the DPs seemed fine with the cardinals (granted I didn't see it during feeding time) so has anyone succesfully kept these fish together? Any thoughts on this?
If I were to do this I would certainly add the DPs last to the tank.
Thanks for any help
