Can you keep more then one species of darter or dace together in the same tank? Ex. black nosed dace with red belly dace or candy darter with tesselated darter...ect.

In my experience different species of dace and darters get alone fairly well. Though be careful that you use actual dace (in my area dace is a local name given to fallfish, a type of chub, which grow big enough to eat darters and dace species).

Yes, many darter keepers have more than one speciies in display tanks... they will typically partition off habitat with some chosing the high flow or the better cave or whatever... and many minnows are more than happy to school together (including most dace)

I concur. Keeping different species of darters and dace together is just fine. You can even keep darters with dace. Cool, huh?
