Title: Anostomidae in planted tanks
Post by: dpatte on August 21, 2012, 12:12:01 AM
Has anyone tried keeping any of the anostomidae (headstanders) such as leporinus or anostomus in planted tanks? Any luck?

Also, have you found them to be aggressive with tetras?

From reading these descriptions it doesn't appear to be an ideal tankmate...

if u keep them with the same sized slow/peaceful fish... they might end up losing fins or an eye... smaller fish will be desert
