Hi Steve, well, what works for some of us doesn't work for the other. My take on your question is that the more space (ie territory) and can give to my fish the better they seem to be. THey display more color, have a chance to eventuelley breed (even if in a display tank).....in general feel better. Now, i think you have to set your objectives: what do you want that tnak to be. It is always difficult not adding some more fish, but better less and nice than too many and fighting or worse. take care Yvan Alleau 712 N.W Kings Blvd Corvallis, OR 97330 College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University office (Burt 222) # 737-3649, to be used wisely! yalleau@coas.oregonstate.edu "When you're far from everything, you're getting closer to the essential" -----Original Message----- From: owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com [mailto:owner-apisto@admin.listbox.com]On Behalf Of Steve Wilson Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 9:20 PM To: apisto@listbox.com Subject: mixing apistos hey all, I am unfortunatly cramped into a dorm room and am looking to put a few more apistos in with my pair of blue rams. The tank is a 20 gallon long that i am going to be adding lots of plants to (is CO2 important for planted apisto tanks?). I have experience with africans, but have a growing knowledge of apistos. Any help on selection would help...Am I crazy to try to add more apistos? Steve __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
