Extra female Istlanum

[SharptoothBass]

this is my spare female, she's a little runt but really tough. I have a chance to get a young male so I'm thinking of trying pairing her with him.

nice looking little girl! Got some interesting tankmates in there as well. That eel doesn't see her as possible food?

You sure that's a female? You obviously know what you're doing but in that video it looks like a male

THANKS, no eel doesn't bother it but she has not been in there very long. The eel has been with a little runt female jack Dempsey for a good while, so I figured it wouldn't bother the Istlanum either.

I doubt it could be male but im no Istlanum expert these are the first I have owned. This female was paired with my male also, I think he actually liked this female more. The other female outgrew her and after a few bad fights I removed her. She was also paired up with my dovii before he got a little bigger and went crazy.

I guess it was just the first video. Nice looking female for sure.

I would introduce the male with a full divider so they get to know each other but neither fish can control or beat on the other 1
