Re: Tank size

Bob,

In my opinion you'd have problems. There are some small species that might
work like A. borellii & A. staecki, but most species would fight for
territory. I'd suggest a 30L if you want to keep more than one breeding
species in a tank. If you do this, just make sure the species look very
different. In this way you can ID the fry accurately. Knowing which female is
guarding the fry isn't always a good way to ID them. Females steal fry from
other females - even from other species & genera.
