More questions about Nothos.

[cgraseck at ludl_com]

I would like to personally thank everyone who responded to my question
about N. rachovii.  I greatly appreciate all the information.  Most of the
responses dealt with rachovii being a difficult fish because of the small
size of the fry and the length of time required for incubation.  These do
not pose too much of a problem for me as I have had some experience with
raising Neon Rainbow fish.  Their fry do not do well with freshly hatched
Brine Shrimp as a first food either. I found that they got off to a good
start on green water from a local pond.  My biggest concern at this point
is aggression.  Is N. rachovii a particularly aggressive fish?  Can a pair
or trio be kept in a 5 gallon aquarium.  I keep my Aphyosimions in 5 gallon
filtered and heated ( for temperature stability ) aquariums.  Would this
type of set up be reasonable for rachoviis and other Nothos.  Does any one
use dither fish, to offset aggression,   while spawning or maintaining
Nothos?

Thanks again,
