puttputt Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Reef, Can you keep Lamarcks in pairs???, in other words can I introduce a female for my big boy Lamarck, given hes a mature, 5-6" long male, and quite stroppy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 would be a risk as they can fight even if a female. Might be ok if you removed the male for a week and introduced them at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Lamarcks are one of the true reef-safe angels yes? Would they be happy in a 1.2x700 tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 yes, very reef safe and my large male is a stunner, with long threadfins. But all info says they are peaceful and timid - yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slappers Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Like all Genicanthis, they tend to be passive toward most other fishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttputt Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 as above, not mine. He's not passive to anyone Thanks reef, think I'll leave him single, he's calmed down and stopped beating up the orange shoulder tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Lots of fish tend to get more aggressive when they get bigger. Larmacks are fine when small, but once they get large they will get more stroppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
