ryanjury Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I regularly mix fry from my africans and grow them out together.. You just have to make sure you don't mix fish that look the same so you can tell them apart again. I also have to match aggression/growth rate/size and it is always the way that one type doesn't do as well as the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 One type is always going to do better in the environment you put them in, do better on your food or be naturally more dominant than the other.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hard to tell could be some sort of worm or if they are in with bigger fish they could be being beaten up/not getting a chance to get any food so starving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
