Black Oscellaris added to regulars?

[jcm1229]

I have a pair of small 1 inch oscellaris in a 20g tank. I'm going to setup another cube tank 33g but won't be ready for a while. A local LFS has a good deal on black oscellaris. I'd like to get a pair and add to the 20 with the regulars until the new cube is ready.

Should I expect any problems?

Please advise.

Thanks!

Yes, they will fight. Just wait till you set up the other tank for the black ocellaris. Black ocellaris are pretty common and im sure you can find them for a good price later on down the road.

i had a recent accident in my tank and had to transfer my pair of blacks to a 29 with a pair of false perculas. they did fine for the few days they were together. went in a little school. not saying they wont fight but mine didnt. now they are back in my 10g and fine.

At 1" I would expect they should be fine for a bit. Its when they mature that is the real problem typically. Just keep an eye on them.
