Question
Hi Ron,
I have a 30 gallon tank with three Eureka male peacocks and two male electric yellows. They all get along okay; just a little nonagressive chasing now and then. I do not want any breeding so I have kept them all male. I would like to add one male salousi because I like the blue color. Do you think this would work?
Thanks.

Answer
Hi Kelly,
You are likely getting close to the limit for that tank. I'm not sure you want to push it by adding another fish. I would only add the fish if you have LOTS of structure (rock, wood, etc) in the tank to break up the space.
