if you plan to add a new fish try to get another red belly of similar size. They schould do ok together if they start to eat each other add about 2 doz. feeders. the feeders will keep them from eating each other. I had 4 red bellys in a 55 gal with no problems. IP: Logged |

You really should not add anymore fish to the tank after 4 weeks of having the origanal fish in the tank. They may eat eachother. IP: Logged |

If you add teh other fish take it out and redecorate your tank and then release both at teh same time. I would reccomend at least 3 so one does not bully teh other one IP: Logged |

You can probably pull it off, I have had sucess with a similar situation. Just try to get 2 more RBPs instead of just one (to spread out any aggression). Also be sure to take out the fish you have in there now, re-arrange everything in the tank, then add all three in at the same time. This will help to eliminate any territories your old fish has. Good luck. Ps, i hope youll give them enough room (roughly 20 gallons per fish) IP: Logged |
