Before I die I'm going to do a tropheus tank. I actually have a pair of firecrackers right now. I hope it's a male and female.

I noticed that, I had them separated for a couple of months, they were so tiny. When the first got big enough I put him in my big tank. But as the second one got bigger he was harassing everyone in my community tank so I put it in the big tank as well. The big one would chase the little one all over, but now they get along fine. The tank is overstocked so that helps, but last night they were hanging out together. It was kinda weird. Definitely going to keep an eye on them as they get bigger. They are expensive buggers out here. I bought 2 before I knew any better.
I just really really wanted one. Ever since I started.
