Hey Guys,

So I have a couple of Acros (testing the waters), one is a TG creamsicle and the other is Pearlberty. I made to spots for two more Acros but was wondering. 1. are they too close? 2. Should I worry about species?

Not too clear for frags. They can be like 1/2” to 1” apart. But if one dies. It can spread to the others.

Make sure they don't touch each other. One will loose and die. Ie wave makers snails fish can bump or turn them making them touch. Just something to keep a general eye on when looking at tank.

Spacing won't be a issue until they grow out a good bit so you have time. I have some that close but now, grrr I need to try moving some around.
