    That's interresting how long have you had them, and how big is the tank?
    Mine doesn't like any fish that looks similar to it, like if I were to add SAE's he would just keep chasing them.

    @Good_Times sad to hear , mine was the same , also had to place in separate tanks after just about a month , I just moved one from the low tech to the high tech tank as she was very huge , like very very huge , so the high tech one will be moved tonight to the low tech because he is way too skinny and almost no algea in the high tech tank . I hear many people doesn't like them much , but they are better looking than the SAE imo

    Oh no...

    I hope you're prepared for the carnage that will later ensue. When my dad kept fish 9 years back, we bought 2 of these, medium sized ones. We already had a pretty big plecostomus at the time, but we had another tank we were going to move him into. The CAEs were fine for about 4 months, then they started killing everything. First the plecostomus, then my dads prized Angels, then the Guppies, then the Rasboras and and and...

    If they have their own tank, then thats fine. Just be careful with them in a community tank

    Anyway, I'm buying some fish tomorrow from Cichlids, here are the ones I'm getting:

    3 Kuhli Loaches - Striped (Not sure on species, but they also have black ones, which ones are better?)
    2 Golden Apple Snails (I like them, I swapped my last two for other fish as they were eating my plants, but I miss them so yeah)
    3 Neon Dwarf Rainbowfish (F$&% yeah, rainbows)
    1 Ancistrus dolichopterus (hope it'll be fine with my other Pleco)
    1 Banjo Catfish (I love the Oddballs)
    1 Blue Crowntail Betta male (Want something cheaper than the other bettas, but different from the standard Veiltails)
    1 Female Doubletail Betta (not really planning on Breeding, this one is for my friend, but I'll try and breed them and see what I get)

    I'd get more stuff but I don't want to put too much more in my current tank, and I want to see how everything goes with them

    I was under the impression that only one bgk could be kept in a tank due to the way they navigate? Signals getting crossed etc. I would love to get another as well

    You can only keep one in a tank,one will most likely kill the other.

    Yay! 6 x teeny baby dantums scooting around my tank.

    LOL!!! Never had angels before, so I guess I don't know what to expect in terms of intellect...
