Pygmy in rivertank?

lute17 Jan 06, 2004 10:45 PM

Anyone know if a pygmy would do OK in a rivertank? 40% land/60% running water, plenty of plants and ledges.
thanks in advance!

If the water is constantly filtered and there is a good network of branches low to the water surface possibly. Chams don't swim well, and unless the tank and water are well filtered and ventilated can suffer respiratory infections.

b/c of their size - would drowning be a risk? One little slip
