In my old tank I had 1 beutiful MultiP about 4 inches long, he seemed very happy swimming, exploring and eating. Everything I read and everybody I spoke to said you MUST keep at least 2 as they are schooling fish and are only happy when they are with their own.
When I started to tranfer my stock into my new 200l tank I bought another 4 inch MuliP, as everybody had advised me to. They both got put into the new tank at the exact same time and they do not school at all in fact they just kick the living **** out of each other. At first I wondered if they were just playing but no, no way, you hear them smack the side when they fight, anything in their way gets a battering.
The tank is 200l with huge amounts of rock, I also have a Snowball Plec and a Scarlet Plec in with them so the thought of adding yet another 4 inch MultiP worries me that there will be too many Cat/Plecs for the space available.
Is this behaviour normal?
Is it likely they will eventually kiss and make up when they settle into the tank? (been a week already)
Thank you.
