For the last few months I have been working very diligently trying to get two of my fish to pair up, after the first week of working with them I decided that I would be happy if they simply did not kill each other. :hmm2::hmm2::hmm2:
I started with a small two inch juvenile in an elos 120. Then I acquired another small juvenile, which went into the qt to gain her strength and get hit with some medz. I finally was ready to introduce the fish and I divided the dt with egg crate. I put the new fish on one side and kept the other on the opposite side. The existing fish went crazy and was trying to kill the other through the crate. I figured it would subside over time. Well it didn't, and the fish continually fought through the crate for several weeks. About three weeks ago the aggression subsided and the fish looked like they wanted to be together. I removed the crate world war three took place. I reseperated the fish and walk,walked away discouraged. Two weeks ago I removed the crate and just watched, the fight begN but not nearly as aggressively this time. Like a bad father I fell asleep and woke to two hungry fish begging for food.a No aggression, No nipping, No chasing just peace. The fish were not overly friendly but just ignored each other. As of one week ago......... Everything has changed
These fish now stay side by side and nuzzle each other. I know they are not mature enough to spawn,but they sure seem to have paired off........ FINALLY
