So I have 2 Flying Foxes ( an impulse buy, when I 1st started setting up tanks again, 2 years ago )
One quickly doubled in size, and started chasing around the other ( not surprising, as that’s kind of what all the info out there on them, says… that I didn’t read, before purchase, being an impulse buy ), but by providing enough cover, they did coexist… I was concerned, when I started to buy Hillstream’s, as they are kind of similar, but they are apparently different enough, they left them alone… it got interesting, when I added a larger variety ( closer to the size of the bigger Fox ), Vietnamese lizard Hillstream’s which spend a good portion of their day vertical on the back of the tank, in the bubble waterfall… the larger Fox has been mimicking the lizards, while the smaller Fox has not changed, and spends its time lounging around horizontally…
2 lizards, with the bigger Fox on the back wall, Fox in the center, partially obstructed by the Marimo ball
