What else do you have in this tank? I always tend to go with species from the same continent, but I love the Amazon and have little interest beyond it :D

How do your Pearls get on with the Bolivians? I'm thinking a couple of bigger 'mid' dwelling fish will calm my lemon's down 😂 MD put some bigger fish in his amazon tank recently and they apparently cause smaller fish to chill out and not chase each other as much.

No issues there they just cruise around quite elegantly, they don't bother anything else and nothing seems bothered by them either. The male is starting to colour up quite well already will try and get some updated pictures.

Yeah that's my fear with the lemons is I don't have room for a big group and it might lead to a bit of nipping.
