Gold Saum

[Mr. Rain Cloud]

I am planning on moving my current setup(75g) into an 84g tank(long), basically an upgrade for them(a picture below). That's only if I do end up with gold saum/s.

I really want to keep them there but I have been craving for a gold saum or a pair. Now, will the 75g be alright for one? If it is, how about for a pair? I currently have a Fluval 405, I understand if I'll have to get a new filter for them/him, but I'm hoping that will be sufficient.

P.S. Has anyone had this dilemma before? The community tank of schooling fish is nice but it's like I have no connection to the fish individually. I just feel like if I get one or two big ones, that would help me get "closer" to my fish. I know there's a lot of questions, but I would like to hear your opinions

A pair should be fine, upgrade the filtration as the fish matures..

That will def be okay for one. Fish kept alone become very personal and engaging, look into even some bigger ones like maybe a Midas flower horn tilapia or something along this lines, but you can't beat the colors of a happy green terror

A gold saum pair will be fine in a 75 alone you cana add some dithers for more movement and to help distract the pair when they fight with each other

I'm glad to hear it, any suggestions for filters(should I get one or two)? I might just move the Fluval 405 to the 84g.

Trust me if only I had the space for a bigger tank... red terror!

Which dithers would you recommend? Won't they be eaten?

I use JEBO 839 canister filters, on all of y larger tanks, and there relatively cheap..

I see, thanks for the recommendation. I would like to keep it from the same area, so I won't be getting the g danios specifically, but now I know what to look for.

P.S. Is anyone suggesting I don't switch? I do doubt anyone would though, being in MFK.

The 75g is in my room, upstairs. The rest are in the living room area, downstairs.

 

[Mr. Rain Cloud]

I was thinking of silver dollars for dithers. They do take a lot of space though, any other suggestions?

Giant Danios are cool but i had a 9+" Male that wiould eat them. he would cornor them then down the hatch. I found that rainbow fish or silver dollars worked best for me.

Here a vid of my old GT and some danios [YT]kbV6ehs6raM[/YT]
