[civ3t]

today i bought 2 fh.. they are from the same clutch.. one is male the other female.. i put them in a 50 gl tank.. my question is will they kill each other??
they are 1 month old..

 

[Loves severums]

how big?

 

[fobrinkle]

Eventually they may.

 

[civ3t]

they are about an inch long and the male keeps chasing the female... is that bad??

 

[bunty82]

i Heard that crossing between the siblings in bad. I mean crossing in the same batch is not recommended is it so......

 

[fobrinkle]

How do you know it is a female at 1 inch?

like said above...they'll nip @ each other when a little bit bigger or the dominant when will rule....

 

[civ3t]

what do i do. Do i add a seperator. or should i just leave they alone.

 

[luohanfan]

devide them. one will kill the other or stress it to death..
(breeding sibings isnt always bad.. you can produce shortbody's this way, but you may also get a lot of other defromaties )
