Pet Forum / Aquaria / General / June 2005Jewel fish (Hemichromis bimaculatus)
Would a couple of jewel fish be ok in either my tank of Malawi's OR my tank of peaceful bush fish (Ctenopoma acutirostris) and geophagus jupari? Thanks No! They are as, or even more, aggressive than the malawis and would not be happy in the Malawis harder water. They would terrorise the bushfish & eartheaters. > Would a couple of jewel fish be ok in either my tank of Malawi's OR my > tank of peaceful bush fish (Ctenopoma acutirostris) and geophagus jupari? > Thanks They would be better off with the Malawis, you do realise that these are one of the most aggressive freshwater species? Although Malawi water will not be good for them as they are soft water riverine species, in terms of aggression it will be better. -- Kind Regards Cameron > Would a couple of jewel fish be ok in either my tank of Malawi's OR my tank > of peaceful bush fish (Ctenopoma acutirostris) and geophagus jupari? > Thanks > They would be better off with the Malawis, you do realise that these are > one [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> of peaceful bush fish (Ctenopoma acutirostris) and geophagus jupari? >> Thanks Maybe I'll not bother then! > *From:* "Denise" <djh@nospamukpc.net> > *Date:* Mon, 27 Jun 2005 07:42:28 +0100 > > Would a couple of jewel fish be ok in either my tank of Malawi's OR my > tank of peaceful bush fish (Ctenopoma acutirostris) and geophagus > jupari? Definitely not. The only thing I've successfully kept with Hemichromis is Doradid catfish - even then the Jewel attacked the spiny flanks of the Catfish until his face was badly cut on the spined You can just about keep 2 in a tank if they are a) male and female b) the tank is large enough c) there is plenty of cover. Otherwise one (normally the male) will kill the other Roger Sleet Roger's Aquatic Pages http://www.sleet.plus.com |
