In my quest for the perfect community of fish, i'd like to go for the following in my impending new tank ( 57" x 22" x 24")
Largish shoal Cardinals (50 +)
Largish shoal of Rummynoses (up to 50)
Silver Hatchets.
The theory behind the selection is.....
Rummys are fast shoaling fish which swim all over the tank,
Cardinals are slow shoaling fish which tend to congregate towards the middle or bottom of the tank
Hatchets are mid to upper water level shoalers which look superb in among some of the taller plant species.
Now ive only kept a few Hatchets many moons ago but ive read that they will just disappear over the months until they have all gone.....and then you find them all down the back of the tank one day !!!!. Although my hood wont be open, i have them so there's an open strip all along the back to allow condensation and hear ro escape and for hoses etc to enter the tank.
has anyone successfully (or unsucessfully) kept a shoal of them....and are they really that prone to flying out of the tank ?
Many thanks
Andy
