Pair of CBB in 100g cube?

[chimmike]

Saw a pair of small CBB's in the LFS today. Don't know if they're eating or not, they just got 'em in last week. I'd promptly QT them as that LFS doesn't QT, but would they be okay in a 100g cube? 36x37x18, open rockwork in the middle, PLENTY of swimming room around the rock and hiding places.

Should be fine per your tank description. Make sure it does eat at the LFS before buying!

 

[chimmike]

definitely. I think I'm jumping the gun so I'm going to hold off a bit, but they are the perfect size to start with, I think. They're both small.

If you do it, please report how it goes. A pair of CBB's is something many have dreamed of. I heard it's not supposed to work, but good luck.

 

[chimmike]

they're a beautiful pair and they seemed happy together in the holding tank at the LFS. I briefly observed them and they tended to stick together.
