More species in one tank... stress?

Post by gr81 »

can I put Red Cherry, c. sp. babaulty green and Red crystal together in one tank? They probably will not crossbreed, but will it not stress them to be together? Should they breed easily in separete small tanks better than in one bigger tank?
Thanks a lot.

There won't be stress right away per se, but it is likely that one species will be more successful than the other and outbreed the other over a long period of time. And no, these species will not interbreed.
