i bought a GT to replace my jag that died and go with the GT I already had.......now they are fighting....lip locking and hitting each other with their tales and stuff......should i let them work it out or should i step in?
 
there is a slight chance that they may be doing ht espawning richual? oscars lip lock and hit tails when they breed. It is a pretty good possibility that they could be spawning
 
i just put the new one in like an hour or so ago.....and they are only like 2" i didnt think they would be mature enough to spawn yet.............but that would deffinitely be cool if i had a breeding pair:headbang2

GT's will tolertale most other cichlids..except other GT's....the trick with them is to add however many you want..at the same time, or else one already had its territory and constantly feels it needs to defend it

either put in a divider, or switch the tank around
 
yea ill try moving everything..........they are the same size and neither seems to be winning..........i had to get it though the store had some really nice looking GT's

They don't usually breed at 2 in. but aquedins can breed at small sizes 3 in. is more like it though.
 
they seem to be warming up to each other a little bit already so i think all will be well...........im still gonna keep my eye on them though
 
Right now i Have the same thing going on. My terrors are the smae size, Brazy the dominating one is definaly showing Poolez who is in charge has him corned and everything, but they are both going in my 125 soon so they should be able to get there thigns together.. Oh Poolez was a impulse buy i love terrors.
