Rare Compatibility question

[kody929]

Hello everyone how's the fish lol I had a question a few advanced SA aquarist Can answer. I recently received 3x Herichthys bocourti(Golden Mojarra), 3x Caquetaia myersi, those beautiful new Red Tiger Severums, 4x Astratheros/Criboheros robertsoni and some wild Colombian Oscars. They are all 1" long and in a grow out. They will be joining 2x Pearsei, Pinstripe Damba, Mesoheros ornatum and small Temensis bass. I've not had a lot of experience with the new 1" fish. Does anybody have any experience and tips about some of the above fish? Any weird thing that they do. Thanks and sorry for the selfish post lol

Myersi, bocourti

knowing the tank size would be helpful as would filtration, and WC schedule 1st and foremost

I'm just asking about compatibility. But 210g 2xfx6 installing an Aquaclear 110 40% every week. They need to grow a bit to be let loose in that tank. Either way decor is multiple caves lot of hiding spots. Also only 1 or 2 of each will be kept. Others sold along the way

You need to move on around half of those fish or you will be over stocked.
The bocourti and robertsoni are not south American they are from central America.

The bocourti and pears are primarily vegetarian, and they alone will eventually max out your tank.
The menerambo also get around the same size, mine easily hit 15" and maxed out a similar size tank. I ended up moving my last Paretroplus to a 500 gal indoor pool to keep them properly.

I agree with everyone. There will be adjustments without a doubt. Eventually I envision basically one of each (if anyone thinks a school/multiples of certain species is beneficial let me know). Which of the bocourti or Pearsei get bigger I'm getting mixed messages online. I think Pearsei get almost 2x bocourti but not sure. How did you get your Menarambo to grow so big ? Mine has hit a wall at about 7" in a lonely tank

I believe bocourti, and pearsei get similar in size.
As far as growth goes, to me its all about the amount of water changes to remove nitrates, and hormones. I usually do 30% water changes every other day, and believe this is one of the keys to good growth. I know some people that do 90% every day, and get better results than mine.
