girls sorority questions...

Post by Haych on Sat Jan 09, 2010 10:38 am

As I had a bit of a shock with some of the girls being boys I had to put ALL my girls into the one large tank (125 litre) which totals a sorority of 11 - and theyre actually very amicable.

What is the most you can have in a sorority and 125 litre tank?

Its well planted, and will even have more in eventually too.

Thanks!

Hi
Glad they appear to have settled down Very Happy

There is always the likelihood that adding females to an established sorority that trouble may break out again. Even adding one more will disrupt the pecking order. In theory, you could add another half a dozen for that size tank, depending obviously on what else is in there?

If you do add any more, use those net breeding things that hang on the tank. That way the present females will get used to having new ones in their territory. Keep them in the nets for about a week and before releasing maybe add some more plants "front to back" creating a natural divider type set up. There could still be trouble though Evil or Very Mad
