tank friends

In large aquariums, black laburens are generally peaceful. They can become aggressive when they are hungry and crowded. Do not add to small fish, otherwise it will become food. Do not add slow fish and large finned fish such as freshwater angels. Because Leporinus are fin incisors. Plecos, silver dollars, and rainbow trout would be good choices. If there is a dispute it is better to separate them.
