Not luck.. lots of research went into the selection of thee two individuals.


i understand you might have looked at their build and took a guess, i said luck because even when you have a male and a female fish together it might get ugly for whoever is new to the tank, especially territorial serra's

gotcha, do you still have them in the 40g? or moved them up?

The forty for now.. For it to be a true pair space needs to be limited..

I'm more then well aware of the risks.. But I am not new to this concept, I have been working on this project for almost two years.. No one knows this specie here like I do
 
I saw the pic Mike showed me yesterday that you had them in a divided tank (he said it's a 125??). did you move them both in the 40g?
how do you have the divider setup? so that she has free range of the tank while he is confined to only half of the tank?? or you just divided the tank in half?
how do they behave towards each other with and without the divider?
this gives me hope for my two rhoms, which I "think" one might be a female.
and you think limited space will help them pair up?

Right now I have them in the divided 40.. They will soon be moved into something bigger.. The smaller tank forces them to acclimate to each others presence.. Before they both yet the free run of the bigger tank..
 
um..interesting...do you think they behave somewhat similar to rhom? or totally different?
 
Eah fish has its own personality, that is no mystery.. It really depends on the individual fish.. The golden brandtii is much more aggressive then any rhom i have owned, and i used to have a 14 incher.. The smaller less colorful of the two i havent seen much aggression from at all.. they do flare up at eachother from time to time but he tends to just watch her.. so we shall see..
