Questions About Brochis Splendens!!!!!

Post by Enantiopus_Melanogenys »

Hello! Everyone :)

I have 6 Wild Caught F0 Brochis Splendens in my house, but I am still not sure what I should make them in good condition for everything. First, I would like to know what size of the tank I should put my 6 Mature size Brochis Splendens to make them feel comfortable and eating well. I really want to have only 6 Mature Size Brochis Splendens by themselves no any catfish or any Corydoras. They are very mature size about 6.5- 8 cm. because they are really Wild Caught fish that bigger than usual that I have seen from everywhere. Second, If I don't really want to put any alive plants in my tank, that will be Ok for all my 6 Brochis Splendens. If I don't need to put anything, whatelse I should decorate my Brochis Splendens' tank. Third, I really want to put 8-10 one specie tetra to be my Brochis Splendens' tankmate. What specie it is an excellent for them. For all these questions, I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much. It will be greatly appreciated. :)

Best Regard;
Bunthid or Max :)

What species of brochis did you say you have and how many? :wink:
Sorry but i couldnt resist it. Seriously though sounds like you have some great stock. I would suggest a fair sized tank, about 4 ft if you have the space. Sand as a substrate and lots of caves and wood as they like to have hidey holes. I noticed that you dont want live plant, I would put some type of vegetation to add to the reality factor. As for the tank mates any shoaling tetra would be fine neons, cardinals whatever you like. Temperature requirements are fairly open 22 -27 c ph 6.5-7 which maybe more important as they are wild. Most callichthys dont seem to mind the variation in ph. I have to ask, what are you currently keeping them in?
