Argentea vs. Haitiensis

That's the part I've heard so much conflicting information about. Keeping multiple of them in the same tank.

People either say:
1) Get about 3 so that you will hopefully have AT LEAST 1 not get bloat and die. Just give lots of hiding spots.
2) Only get 1 as they will get bloat and die from being stressed out from the competition/fighting with eachother.

Thoughts???

Lol well I guess you'll figure it out. I either get a group if you have a large enough tank or divide two of them. Ive had great results both ways, but the best way that's worked for me is buy two and keep them divided. It's almost a sure way for success and most likely both will survive. I say go with two and put a filter and airstone on each side. You'll be just fine. Then leave them alone and don't mess with them unless you have to.

Nice. I hadn't thought of that. And that's how my tank is already set up. 1 filter and 1 airstone per side. Thanks fwp.
