Two harlequin Tusks in the same tank!

Is this possible in a 125? I have an Indo but really want an australian. MY LFS just got one in and I dont know what to do?!?!?!?

Not a good idea...One will end up dead.

BS, I've had 2 together for over a year without issue. One was 7" the other 5". I'd post pics if I had more time, but I have posted the pics before.

This was how they greeted each other:

Looks like one indio and a aussie? For the most part are they plesant?

sweet to see two of them together.

They never had an issue with one another. The smaller one is an aussie and the bigger one indo. The bigger one did become blind in both eyes and I did 'put it to sleep' just this week. It didn't come out for food anymore and was a sitting duck for my clown trigger.

I DID IT!

Cool let us know how it works out. I would have never guessed you could put two in one tank.

They have been happy for 3 days!! Its awesome.

Very cool! To me they are pretty enough to have as the only fish in a tank, especially two of them.
