Dither Fish and Convicts?
#1
I've been reading up about the use of shoaling fish in a large tank to make cichlids more at ease - the idea being that many shoaling species won't fear Humans, and the cichlid sees that the owner isn't anything to worry about and therefore becomes more at ease with it's surroundings.
Has anyone had any experiance with using dither fish with the hyper-aggressive species such as Convicts or Acara?
I was thinking of perhaps adding Pearl, Zebra or Leopard Danios once I've got my 4ft tank setup for my convict pair as they are very shy, but I don't want the dither fish to end up as "target" fish.
Cheers
