I used to have a lone nasuta gold in my comm tank.
Other than the usual habitual chasing of other fishes once in a while, he did not create much disturbance to the tankmates.

Not sure how they will behave in a group, though.
I guess the dorminant male will be very busy and the whole tank will be full of activities

Hi,

I got 1m 2f from Nks, so far working fine with the tank mate.

The male one appear like a bit yellowish only, not sure how 'gold' it can be..

Lets see how .....

My male fish is about 7-8cm in length, probably that is the min. to see colour.
