Has anyone kept them? I was wondering if they would do good in a 30 gallon stream setup with yellowfin shiners, bluehead chubs, fatheads, and rainbow darters? The yellowfins and bluehead chubs are in the same creek that these dixie chubs are in.
Thanks

Well I am no expert on Dixie Chubs, but as I recall they are most similar to Creek Chubs which I am familiar with... They are too omnivorous for a communicty tank in my opinion/experience. Their mouths are too large and they enjoy eating smaller fish. I have kep creek chubs successfully wuth things like bullhead cats (both at about 5 inches... neither thought the other was a meal)... or some sunfish. But their large hungry multipurpose mouth means that they are not really a great neighbor for some of the other fish you mentioned.
