Very nice !!
I take it that they are a pair?
That is the weird thing. Neither one carries the pronounced white band
in the dorsal, which would indicate female.
But neither have the body striations which would indicate male.
So I have just been assuming they are both males because neither
is showing a red abdomen.
All I know is that they get along great. They stick to eachothers side like
they are a bonded pair.
Or else I have a pair of Ellen Degeneres or Clay Aikens.
The tank is a 6'x2'x2' 150. As for as keeping groups. I personally have had
decent luck doing so. I kept a trio of them together up 9-11" untill end of
this summer but lost the Trom Marm, gave away the X1 and my female Jo was
killed when I tried to introduce her to a very large Male. Who is waiting to be
picked up next month.
I currently a trio 8" Rio Tapajos Marms in a 125 which are getting along
quite nicely. Hoping one of the females will pair up with the male.
I definitely would not recommend anyone else to do so. Things get ugly fast.
Thanks everyone
