how many male cacs?

[jase101]

hi guys, new to the forum, great site!

i have a six foot south american tank (hatchets, rummynoses, cardinals, diamonds, corys) and have over 25 years experience with tropicals. i'm about to purchase some cacs to join the community, and was pondering 2 males with 4 females. the tank is heavily planted, lots of hidey-holes, and though i don't expect breeding results with all those hungry tetras in the tank, i do want the cacs to be happy. would these two trios be cool, or should i just go with one male?

thanks,

justin

what Dave said, or maybe some rams. I love to keep rams in my tanks, I really like M. ramerezi, but also have a very nice pair of M. altispinosa that I like alot.
