Article Compatibility Chart

It is nice to have a chart like this on the board.... and actually I like this one as most charts say that Discus and Angelfish are incompatible... but that chart is accurate to say that CAUTION is advised!

Nice to see a chart that is honest and not fully ignorant! lol

 

agreed, too many suggest incompatible species and then novices go out and toss them in a tank and wonder what THEY did wrong.

 

well i guess this will go as credit!! I always look for this, i am glade we did it!! good job you guys!!!!!! [laughing] [dancing]

 

working on updating it as I type with additional species.
Thanks Leslie!

 

i told anthony it should say in big pink letters thank you leslie!!

 

Haha! it was a great sugg. ...alot of work! But a great sugg.

Here's my two favorites. I don't care for the charts much. A bit evasive.

I guess we couldn't incorporate the slider (allows you to go across easier)

 

Howdy,
I looked for this info, but didn't see it.
Got a 55 at school, with fancy goldfish, a few plants, and a bit of wood. I have a friend with a big pleco who needs a home (the fish, not the friend).
Would he do okay in there? I can add more wood for him.

 

might uproot your plants, but should depending on the species (ie. common)

 

I haven't seen this guy, but I'm assuming he's just one of the common brown pl*cs. About 7 inches now, from what I was told, and he's in a 29g and needs more space.
I'm sure the goldfish would appreciate help in digging up the plants.

 

Lol, I'd take him (if you got goldfish already I'm sure you can handle the extra waste the plecos produce).

yay, pretty much means if I get a very mellow non aggresive male betta Ican keep him with my platies after the tank's ready, man I hate waiting on a fishless cycle

that chart isn't perfect mind you, compare it with <a class="postlink" href="http://www.aqadvisor.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.aqadvisor.com/</a> (which is defin. quickly growing on me)!

ps. great work yhbae (love that your constantly updating the data base and such) [icon_exclaim.gif]

Platys will nip at your betta! Believe me I've tried. I have 8 females in a 55 gal Soroity tank. with neons, redskirt tetras (I'm watching them closely they are known nippers), Cories (Julian) and SAE (Simease algae eaters)

that's what I tried telling them already, they're incompatible...but I guess they are still gonna try because the chart?

All I can say is watch very closely and have somewhere the platy's can be transferred once/should nipping occur if you're that determined.

ps. we need current photos ursi. Lol!

a trick I have when keeping bettas is dividers, the platies wouldn't be able to get at him hmm...maybe I should put that in my sig that I always use deviders when keeping more than a singal betta at a time, heck there's even a book standing between my betta's now even though one all of them have lids and two only the red one is aggressive

 

Lids are a must for bettas. I've found quite a few on the floor when I was breeding them many years ago. Pics will come haven't had the camera out in a while.
