headstanders

[slt]

just wonderd if any one kept these fish , i got 2 red spotted headstanderds today, the fs guy said they do best in pairs, but since putting them in my tank they've done nothing but attack each other,
also he said they won't eat my plants ughhhh, well inbetween fighting
thats just what there doing,

They are supposed to be ok together as Juveniles, but when theyr bigger, they tend not to tolerate each other.

As for plant eating, theyr only supposed ot 'nip' at alge and new shoots.

 

[slt]

well these are not juveniles, so that explains why there attaking each other
see if they settle if not i'll take one back, they seem to be enjoying
the new shoots and the mature plants, lol shall have to put plenty lettuce in, thanks stickle,
