I've decided to juggle around the inhabitants of my three tanks.
The 58 gal will become a heavily planted tank with lots of driftwood and rocks. It will be home to several schools of barbs, tetras, and corys. There will also be a BN plec to keep down the algae.
The 10 gal is home to a pair of jewel cichlids, which for the moment are tolerating each other's existence. I've found out the hard way(no deaths, but alot of bruised fins) that jewels don't mix well with any other fish.
This tank will contain lots of Java moss and a few rock-covered PVC caves.
Finally, the 15 gal will become home to my firemouth. This fish is a stunningly beautiful specimen, but he has a very ornery personality. In the time I've had him, he has killed another firemouth and a green severum. He once put one of my blue acaras in the hospital tank, and to this day, he still harasses them both. The only fish with which he has met his match is the jewel - he got beaten up by one, which prompted me to put the jewels in their own tank.
The firemouth is now 3.5 inches long When he is not bullying the acaras, he spends his time hiding in his flowerpot. I'm thinking of putting some small fast dither fish in the 15 gal with him. The tank will have rocky caves of various sizes, as well as a few dense clumps of Java moss. I'm thinking a small school of barbs or danios. Any suggestions?
