Hi fellow fish lovers,

I'm thinking of getting some EBHs and some advice is very much appreciated.

I have 3 x 6" TFBs in my footer now, planning to get a 20" and above aro.

So my Q are the following.

- How big will be a safe size so the arow won't take it for food?
- How many?
- Will they attack the Arow or TBFs?
- If i put duck weeds will they eat them up like the TFBs?

Cheers,
Tawana

If you intend to get such a big aro, then perhaps you need EBH of at least 8inches. Go for a school of minimum 6pcs. However, how big is you setup? Hookers can get quite bitey sometimes but TFB are quite fast so should be quite fine.. Hookers are more carnivorous so I believe you duck weeds will be safe.

Cheers!

You are welcome! With this big tank, you can go up to a dozen of hooks. They are mid-dwellers n thus ur tank will look lively n not empty...
