RBP Shoal and Rhom

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yea from reading I hhave learned that they are I was just wondering from experience if anyone has had luck with this combination?
 
Bad combination, I wouldn't try it. People have had success with mixing gold spilos with reds. But even then you always will have to be watching for aggression. Eventually the rhom will pick the reds off 1 by 1 untill they are all dead:( :grinno:
 
dont do it. rhoms are solitary species. the rhom will nip and stress your pygos to death or they may gang up on him. either way not a good end result, so its not a good idea. you could always house the rhom in a 75gal for a long time and get the best of both worlds.
 
It would either results in the pygo shoal feasting on the rhom in one giant feeding frenzy. Or the rhom picking off your pygos one by one in the matter of a day or two. I put my money on the rhom doing the job, and killing them just for the sake of killing.

I know of no one who has done this with success. But there is a video on putfile of a rhom hunting a shoal of cariba. So wouldn’t really recommend it lol

What if the reds are larger??
 
Has worked for 4 days now. I have been keeping an eye on it. It is pretty weird. The Rhom just sits up top and the pygos sit on the bottom. I am going to do something but I am out of room. May have to take the rhom to the store.
