corrosionjerry Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thanks! And overall this is a fairly sub dom fish, with no females in the tank. Interestingly enough the best looking male out of the two was at one time very sub dom in this tank, and over the first 10 months in my tank spent most of his time hiding behind the rocks. (yet he still had better spangling/color than the dom male) His sibling constantly harassed him until one day he decided he'd had enough and laid a licking on his brother. While the fighting didn't result in any damage, they went at it for a couple of hours (circling each other & then lip locking) until out of sheer exhaustion the dom male gave up, and a new king emerged. Two years later and they have never fought like that again, and the once sub dom male still remains dominant over his sibling. how big are these fish.... I like them / nice shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Jerry - both of my males are 7-8". 9" should be about the max for a full grown male, but they take a good 3-4 yrs to reach that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
