What decides this species' pairings
Counted across every assessment above — the dimensions that actually raise concerns for this animal, rather than the ones a care sheet would list.
| Dimension | Pairings raising it | Share |
|---|---|---|
| temperature | 70 | 78% |
| predation | 34 | 38% |
| zone competition | 30 | 33% |
| breeding aggression | 27 | 30% |
| ph | 14 | 16% |
| territory | 14 | 16% |
Environmental compromise
Whether a shared temperature, pH and hardness band exists is a necessary condition, not evidence that it suits both animals. This counts how good the overlap actually is.
| Overlap quality | Pairings |
|---|---|
| Workable | 41 |
| Forced compromise — neither animal is where it wants to be | 30 |
| Comfortable for both | 11 |
| No overlap at all | 5 |
| One animal at the edge of its range | 3 |
