Dispar experiences

[mpoletti]

I ordered some dispars. The only thing is that instead of 4 females and one male, they sent me 4 males and only one female.

I put 2 males and the female in the tank, but I am looking to here how aggressive the males are to each other. How many females will I have to add so they feel safe.

Here is a shot of one of the males

I don't know how big your tank is, but you can expect normal aggression from them as far as how they act within their species and carpet surfing by the less dominant fish

Sorry about your shipment

 

[mpoletti]

Thanks, My tank is a 180.

Yep, They are eating mysis, flake, and brine. If you don't get a male in there soon, the more agressive will change for you.

Where did you get that male? He's beautiful.

 

[mpoletti]

I can't remember if I got him online or at my LFS. Sorry.

 

[Chibils]

No problem. I was just looking for a good online vendor since pseduanthias spp. tend to be a bit touchy.
