more Y. splendida questions?
Hi guys,
So I am expecting 7 Y. splendida to arrive tomorrow from Frank....are these guys particularly viscious to their tankmates or is it too early to tell? I have one huge tetra (identity unknown), 2 arulius barbs, 6. B. udomritthiruji (emperor botias), 3 Y. caudipunctata, 1. Y. eos.....will these guys co-exist with my existing setup? I have plenty of rock/wood work in the tank for shelter....its an 80 gallon tank.
Thanks,
Mike

Looking forward to seeing them myself Mike, I bet you cant wait
Unlike Mick mine only have pearl danio's for tank mates, I have seen the splendida swimming with the danio's up in the water but there is no harassing like you would see with sid's etc.
Now mine have settled in they are very vocal, I would say they are as loud as eos, but the click is not as sharp (glass shattering) as eos, it is quite a dull click but easily heard.
My 9 can really go for it so I would think with 7 you will get some loud clicking

Yes, exactly. A few specimens hid but 4 of the 7 were out and about, sorting through the gravel in search of food within the first few minutes...fascinating! The yellow in the caudal fin is particularly striking. On another note, I hadn't realized how much my Y. caudipunctata had grown. When I bought my group of 3 4 years ago, they were 2-3 inches in length like the Y. splendida group I have now. Now, my caudis are huge!!! Must be 5-6 inches TL.
My Y. lecontei specimen is huge as well and I bought it as a scrawny tiny baby, no more than 3 inches, and thin as a pencil at the time.
