Things to Consider:
* Tank Size: Larger tanks provide more space for fish to avoid each other and reduce aggression.
* Water Parameters: Ensure the water parameters are compatible for all fish in the tank.
* Temperament: Observe the behavior of your fish to ensure they are getting along. Some fish may appear peaceful but can be aggressive towards specific tank mates.
* Feeding Habits: Make sure your fish have access to enough food.
* Decor: Provide hiding places for shy or smaller fish to avoid bullying.
Remember: It's always best to do your research on specific fish species before adding them to your tank. Consider the size, temperament, and needs of each fish to ensure a harmonious community.
