Does my keyhole need a friend?

snowflake311 · April 24th, 2009

So I have a male keyhole in a 36 gal tank with 5 redtail rasboras 1 BN pleco 1 clown pleco. Carl the keyole use to have a friend and they got along. They were both males. I kind of want to get a rainbow cichlid as a friend. Or should I get him another keyhole for a friend?

IMO you're pretty well stocked right now. As for your question, keyholes do well in pairs(male/female) but it is not needed. I have a keyhole that is doing fine on his own. He even tags along with my black ruby barbs sometimes.
