My RTG tank is currently being replaced, so yesterday I figured I might try to put him in with my Red and watch to see what happens. As soon as I placed the RTG in, they started to square off, the red, being on home turf and larger, won, and took about 2-3 shots at the RTG's tail. BUT after 10 minutes......
They stopped fighting! And began swimming with each other as if they were in a comm. I watched them for the next 2 hours with not a single nip to each other. This morning was the same, no signs of aggression or nipping.
Ill continue to monitor them closely these next few weeks, as I am aware from experience that things can turn on a dime. But here are a few pictures. The RTG has a few tears on his fins from the initial encounter, nothing a few days of melafix wont heal.
I also just received my new DSLR and a few new lenses, so I thought id give it a try. Cheers!
