Cookieskennels Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 hymmmm it worrys me a bit as i know they can get quite big and hes already HUGE, i dont want him to hurt me or any of the other tank mates. hes made my other large white male go blind in one eye, pet shop said they would be fine together,....*NOT* even as 1 hides and ones out or visa versa..... maybe i should move him on?

David R Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 How big is the tank? They don't get big at all, maybe 12-15cm tops. Compared to most nasty central americans thats tiny.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 They're awesome fish, great attitude, and yes they'll have small teeth. It sounds like your tank isn't big enough for two males, so you should probably get rid of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
