If another care sheet is composed regarding mixed tanks, it would be nice to see it unbiased; presenting the possible negatives along with recommendations for those who choose to do so. An advisement not to attempt mixing as it could be harmful to the inhabitants for 'blank' reasons and requires 'blank' experience would be fair though, for educational purposes.
I don't advocate mixed tanks - I am simply attempting to offer a broadened perspective.

I'll simply ask you to point out an opinion I state vs. fact. If you can tell me where me opinion is swaying any fact here I'll drop out of this thread now.
I post factual , personal experience about mixing, vs. those that have never mixed . Facts such as, no aggression, no breeding, no outward signs of stress, and on and on. From animals properly tested/possibly treated/quarantined. You know, facts and such.
