ive heard you can keep them in groups of 3 or more but all introduced at the same time i wouldnt try adding another to an established specimen
I am not going to ..over and out!!! Thank you..:)
 
not realy, if you keep 2 or more fish that use electroreception together theres a chance that they will fight.in the lfs you will see them kept together but as they mature they will become intollerant of others of the same species unless you have a male and a female(with apterontidea the males electric organ discharge is greater than males or females but with other gymnotiforms and mormyriforms the female has the greater e.o.d)but even then i would sugest keeping them seperate most of the year untill you want to breed, specialy if you have a proven pair.

Yes you cannot go by LFS since they have all the fish jammed packed together and get away with it.. mostly because it is temporary set up.. I thank you for the added info i did not know, but i will definitly not keep them together under any circumstance.. thanks again..
