looking for opinions here.....
OK, they might not be dwarfs, but they are close. I just got a very nice group of Mesonauta acora. The males are huge! Over 6" !
My question is if I put them in a 100 gal tank (6 feet long) how heavy would the predate on swordtails? I have my X. cortezi in that tank and I would like the population to grow some. Both groups of fish are aquarium produced and acclimated to neutral water conditions.
I know the best thing to do is not put them in, but that tank is my best option at the moment.
My other option is a 120 gal (4 feet ) tank that was scheduled to house Etroplus canarensis that are ready to come out of quarantine.
so bottom line what opinions on the Mesonauta and Xiphophorus in same tank? is my swordtail population doomed?
