Cycle

Well the Julie's and multis come in tomorrow morning. Here is the tank set up

 

[Autumnsky]

You may need to add shells or hides depending on how many you have I understand it is best when there are extra places for a quick hide and not necessarily to be sharing one. Have a friend who kept them for a long while but maybe not since a year so I can't exactly recall. Plus spaces for breeding.

The set up looks nice. Hope all goes smoothly.

I got shells coming in tomorrow ?

 

[stevenht]

6 multis and 5 Julie's

I'm not worried about breeding but luckily I have a LFS that will take the fry if they make it and don't get picked off. I would rather not deal with fry but I understand these will probably reproduce whether I like it or not

Great about the shells.

Yes, and I know from my friend it can be surprisingly fast for breeding and a lot of squabbles without enough (seemed like way too many) shells.

Good fish keeping.

Here are the pictures. They've been in for around 5 minutes now

How are they going now?

 

[stevenht]

They're co existing for now. I actually started a new thread about it. The two bigger Julie's are picking on the 2 smaller Julie's. The multis seem to be pairing up a bit and staking out their territories and not letting the Julie's near them

Thanks, will check out [emoji106]

Looks like they put the caves to fast use!

You can post the other thread to link here for continuity!

That's the OP from like last September when I first got this idea.

It's a good thread though
