Quick Question

I was just wondering if it's possible to have 1 convict cichlid, 1 lemon cichlid, and 2 skunk botias in a 15 gallon aquarium.

Re: Quick Question

hi matey just a thought i know you can keep cichlids together but i dont know about the skunk botias , im no expert but i suppose it can depend on their demeanour and whether or not they are aggressive... i suppose if you have a 2nd tank you could try for a few hours and see how they react to eachother if they dong get on put one spieces in 2nd tank.... hope this helps like i say im no pro

Re: Quick Question

I would say no, convicts get 5-6in. and lemon 4" and I think the skunk botias 4" so No.

Re: Quick Question

: Everybook I read is different. One book says that convicts get to 3-4 in but others say 6 inches. Anyway, skunk botias get to 1.5 inches according to a book I read. Will a lemon cichlid get well with 2 skunk botias then?

Re: Quick Question

Skunk Loaches have recently had their names changed, and heres some reliable information about them. http://www.loaches.com/species-index...otakia-morleti I have four in a 29 gallon tank with some dither fish. They prefer to be in groups and can be a little rowdy. They are known as the "brat pack" of loaches.
I would think no to your question on the basis of the loaches alone.
