I've got a dentist appointment taking me to the side of town my LFS is on so I figure I'll run by since I need/want some fish anyway. I'm wanting to add a centerpiece fish to my 75 gallon and I've been thinking about this for awhile. I've pretty much settled on a pair of kribs which hopefully will breed for me (though I doubt it as nothing ever, ever breeds for me).
In the tank currently, I have 3 black skirts, 6 von rios, 6 glo-lites, 6 black neons, 6 cory cats, 2 pygmy cories, a bn pleco and a dwarf gourami. It's planted and I also want to add a few more plants to it. My goal is to eventually get all the plastic plants out of there and replace them with real ones w/o hurting the look at all. I think a pair of kribs will fit in there nicely and I'm considereing picking up a couple of black skirts to round out my school, then I'll be done w/my tank. Does that sound like a proposal that'll work?
Also, in my 55g I've got one Jack Dempsey and 2 Buenos Aires tetras. I put them in there since they were wrecking havoc in the 75 and bullying everyone around. I figured they were too big and too fast for him to eat. Over the last two weeks four of the six I put in there have disappeared. I suspect Jack, but he claims he had nothing to do with it and was at home watching TV at the time. I hate to have a 55g with just one fish. Jack's not that big (he was kept in a 20g before I got him and I suspect he's somewhat stunted), and I'd kind of like to add some dither fish or something to the tank. The problem is he'll eat them if he catches them. Any ideas?
