Keyhole tank mates

[Serenity]

Wanting to add a keyhole or two to my 100gallon tank, current residents include corydoras, leopard danios, neon tetras and a dwarf gourami would it fit in ok also is it ok to have More then 1 keyhole? 2 males ok? There is plenty on caves and plants :)

you actually should have more then 1, 3-4 is the smallest i would go i think. I see no compatibility issues really unless the gourami decides to pick on them. In a tank that size you should be fine though.

I agree they should be fine.

Its 100gal tank, I doubt the gourami would pick on them, but thats a slight chance.(1%)
3-4 sounds good to me, they are a nice peaceful cichlid.

If the gourami causes trouble he can easily be moved to another tank :) does it matter if there all male? Or all female, cheers :)

It's hard to tell the difference in the sexes, but they are very docile and it really doesn't make much if any difference . The only possible trouble I see is a neon or two disappearing on occation. You just never really know , but sometimes you get one that can catch and eat smaller tank mates . Personally I wouldn't let it deter me . Just remember that keyholes can be quite shy so give them lots of hiding spots untill they get comfortable with their new home. Otherwise ,sounds god to me.

some floating plants do alot to keep keyholes secure and active as well, there are fake plants with suction cups that you can use to kinda shade the tank. I doubt there would be any huge problem unless you got 3 males and a female or something like that. I would also be surprised to hear about them eating tankmates but it is possible.
