I have the 2 of them in a growout tank for now, and plan on buying a bigger tank sometime next week when my new heater comes in.
My jack is about 3.5-4", and the festivum is about 3-3.5".
I can't keep any live plants because the festivum tears them up (I actually only moved it here because it was chewing my plants in my 29g) and I'm not a fan of fake plants, so I intend to keep the hardscape roughly as is.
My jack is really shy. I've had him for about 3 weeks. I had caves in there for a while and he would hide occasionally. I removed them when he stopped using them. Now he's a bit more out and about, and will occasionally chase the festivum around. I've also seen them swim up next to each other, and even seen the festivum nip at the dorsal of the jack!
So my question, would these 2 be ok as the only inhabitants long-term? Or am I better off just removing the festiuvm now and leaving the jack alone? Another reason for moving the festivum was my jack was hiding a lot and tried to get him more comfortable. Black skirts nipped at him, so I removed them and placed the festivum.
