Hey everyone!
I currently have a single 20cm leucistic gal in a 60cm x 25 cm tank, which I know is on the smaller side especially regarding the width. We were orginally planning to get a juvie so we never really thought the tank size would be a problem but now that we've ended up with an adult so I'm looking at upgrading to a 91 x 40-45cm tank asap.
But I've got a question regarding tankmates, I always thought I'd just have one axie but with upgrading I'm not sure whether two would be better? I plan for this tank to be rather well stocked with Java Fern, Moss, Anubias, Hornwort and Bolbitis especially since my girl really likes to use the java ferns we have as a hammock??? (it's the absolute sweetest thing and her new favorite spot ever since we got them <333)
Anyway, I was going to buy large rocks &/or driftwood to mount them on but if I got a second kid I could always just attach the majority of them to their hides so it's not going to make too much of a difference space wise but what I'm wondering is whether or not my girl would most benefit from a tankmate or being alone in all the extra space? I'm not particularly desperate for another gal as I'm happy to wait until I move out to upgrade again and buy another axie if I want but if she'd benefit from it then I'm all in
