As D said, as juveniles they may seem docile... drop a competitor in the tank and that will change quick.
My Huma never exhibited any "extreme" qualities of aggression, and used to get the crap kicked out of him on a daily basis by my Passer Angel.
So I thought I would be able to add another Trigger without any issues...
Basically acclimation went like this:
- Dropped the bag in to let it come up to temp.
- Added water to the bag slowly over the course of an hour.
- FW dip
- Added him to the tank.
30 seconds later:
- Wait what's that loud clicking noise I'm hearing???
- Oh that's the just huma huma trigger.
:eek2: - WAIT A SECOND... He's got the Niger Trigger's head in his mouth and was bashing it into a rock!!!
:furious: - I had to tear all the rocks apart to pull out the now badly wounded Niger Trigger.
:mad2: - A few weeks in QT so his wounds could heal, then back to the LFS.
:sad1: - After that I realized my stocking to that tank was done.
