Sewellia lineolata only tank + ancistrus cirrhosus?

Post by mwarsell » Thu Nov 12, 2015 2:53 pm

Hi there,

I've got a 200l breeding tank for sewellia lineoalata. I'm about to give up my other tank, which has a male bristlenose catfish Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus, among other fish. I'm thinking about moving the ancistrus to the 200l tank, rather than selling it (for a euro or so is what I paid for it), which currently has 8 sewellia adults and around 25 small fry.

The sewellia has been the only inhabitant in this 200l. Is it wise to "save" the bristlenose and put it in the 200l with the sewellia? Or not?

I keep ancistrus with my sewellia. I haven't had any issues with hostility toward the adults but they will eat eggs.
