Tinkeri and Declivis Butterfly Together?

[1ucky]

Question, has anyone here ever kept a Tinkeri and Declivis Butterfly together before? I currently have a Tinkeri in my 300g Set-up and am looking to add a Declivis.

I tried them together for 1 year, both were obtained at approx. 3.5". No problem in your tank size. How big is your current fish. But if I do that again I would just do a pair of either species instead.

My Tinkeri is about 5" and the Declivis I'm looking to get is about 3-4" or so. Thanks for your input.....

I did it with C. mitratus and C. declivis. The mitratus was existing and smaller. Chase the C. declivis for 15 minutes so I turned off the lights. Now, while they don't like each other, they tolerate rather well.

I'd a 4.75" Tinkeri and 3.5" Declivis without any problem along with a Semilarvatus but the Bugess was a pain. It constantly chased the Declivis even though the Declivis was established. I'm with lunner if I were to do it again I would go with a pair instead.
