According with Julie.
I have three community tanks, for smaller species (such as
macculochi Skull Creek, for midden bows (such as parva or sp.
Batanta) and for bigger ones (trifasciata, affinis Pagwi...)
The tank for smaller species can contain somme Pseudomugil( be
carefull for the water quality), some little gudgeons (Tateurndina,
Oxyeleotris nullipora) and glass perchlets (Denariusa bandata)
The midden one can has some medium gudgeons (such as Hypseleotris
compressa) and midden perchlets (such as Ambassis macleayi)
The bigger one contains Mogurnda adspersa.
Other thing is the agressivity. I think a trifasciata is a "cool"
and gentle bow that can be set with smaller (but not too small) bows
such as lacustris. An australis can be very agressive (one male
killed another in my tank)and will be kept with bigger or even
agressive tankmates.
When I received my parva, I set them with macculochi : the macs were
hidding them in the plants and didn't take food because of activity
of the parva. I set therefore the parva with lacustris who are even
agressive.
