Ducksta Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Mate, I wouldnt be worried about crossbreeding, with those fish in that tank, I'd say most of them would be dea before they thought about breeding. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 ps. My demasoni (6x juvies, look like they might start breeding soon) are housed with a colony of electric yellows (9 adults, 6 juvies) in a 4x2, and they are quite boisterous. I dont think they will do well with tankmates in a standard 4' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViS Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 *KABOOM* I wouldn't suggest keeping any one of those species in a standard 4 footer (as previously commented). Flavus and demasoni need a lot of space per male despite their size and polits are not far behind. A 4x2 is still too small for 2 adult flavus males and 6 females in my opinion (and the opinion of the girls he killed, I'm sure). All 3 fish are fantastic, but need at least a standard 5 or 6 footer (or a 4x2 with definite separate areas) to be happy. You need to choose other fish or bigger tanks I'm afraid.
