Cardinals, i wonder if 100 of them are too many, they seems to school in 2 groups..

Looking great Venson! Is this the same tank you kept arowanas and motoro rays?

[dersuz]

How to tell whether is a male or female for ram fishes?

Thanks bro.

Not for now, angelfish still too small to attack the cardinals..

EvoZ, Congrats on having the fishes in!
Are the cardinals still schooling in 2 schools after settling down?

i find something very very weird.. they now school in 1 large group during morning to late afternoon, they school among the stem plants behind.. but once it hit after roughly 8pm when the whole living room gets dark(only the tank's light is on), they start to school at the front right corner tightly(which the above pics shows), which only a handful cardinals are 'brave' enough to stay among the stem plants. im thinking perhaps they feel unsecured when their surroundings are dark?

[tymles]

Thanks bro, u mean how long it takes to set up this? if so, just 1 day... did everything within 1 day, but if planning includes, that will be weeks.

i do agree that 100 pieces may seem too many.. may reduce the amount as they grow bigger.. the rams are doing fine, just that they don't really feed readily and scavange around instead..

Looking good! Love the livestock that you have. Just need the HC to fill in the empty spaces. Now a bit like everything is tucked behind the wood.

EvoZ, you should add in some rummy nose tetra and gold white clouds mountain winnow with your cardinal. i have seen those people setting up with these 3 species of fishes and they really look very nice..

[tymles]

I have whe gold white cloud with my cardinals and ember tetras but the minnows seemed a little too hyper for the other fish.

Thanks for your advise but i prefer just 1 species of schooling fish.
