livingart Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I have a pair of large ornates that get on well together i have been offerd another large one does anyone have any experiences or thoughts on how this would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougstark Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I tried adding a small one in with a medium size one but the small one got bullied so I took it back to the shop. I would suspect that there may be problems of two on one. Sometimes it could be territorial. Changing the tank around putting in the new one for a little while then adding one of the old ones then the next day adding the other one may work. I have never tried it but would be interested in knowing how you get on as I have one and interested in getting more. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way! look at his avatar, you could never trust him, best I take it off your hands and see how he plays with my ornate, he/shes too lazy to get in a fight.

Simian Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Oh and I recently heard that there is a guy breeding senegals in NZ, apparently he's got so many he uses them as feeders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I find that hard to believe, you'd think there would be some on trademe if he had that many. The fry are serious cannibals, maybe thats what he meant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 the ornate was offered as a swap for some fish i am selling just a thought buy the fish and do the swap the story of bulldogods life is in his avatar senegals are worth a bit so any breeding would produce a bit of income for the breeder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 what is "cheap as chips"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 what if you put a glass wall in the tank and the new one on one side, so they can see each other and have their own space for a bit before meeting properly? I walled of the end of one of our tanks by getting glass 1mm wider than the tank and burying the bottom in the substrate, with a spare suction cup either side of the top.

The fry are serious cannibals, maybe thats what he meant... It was from a pretty reliable source, he sells em to fish shops, it was from a LFS employee that I heard it from. Maybe he does have a pair and just feeds out extras to keep the price up....I dunno, I'll chase the source and let you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
