Crenicara

[peterK]

Hi there!
I have the opportunity to get Crenicara punctulatum soon. If I get them, they'll go to 80cm (100Ltr.) tank.
I'm not sure, about best water parameters for them, and which combination I should choose - 1m+2f or only a pair?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, they do best in soft, acidic water: you would probably be looking at pH of around 5.5-6 for best results. Stocking depends on the layout of the tank (esp. availability of hiding places), but in your case, just a pair might be safest as they can be mildly aggressive when spawning.
