Advice on RTG comm

marclazaroo · 15-06-2014, 01:02 AM

Hi guys, i currently have a 8inch XB in my 422 tank, planning to try out a comm so looking to get a juvenile RTG to try out whether can comm with my XB.
My XB is quite timid, only during feeding time will be "aggressive" to whatever is being thrown in, MP or SW.. Tankmates are currently 2 X TFB and 2 X IT (5inch).
Can anyone advise whether trying out the comm is a good idea with my current setup?

Bro if want comm must be steel of heart. Cos sure have torn tail or fin. Drop scale or even serious injury.

Do you intent to upgrade your tank when the fishes grow bigger? Can u tolerate aro injure among themselves? No advisable to keep 2pcs aro comm, chances of deadly fight very high. Keeping aro comm is shiok especially during feeding and make your tank very lively but seeing damages on their body not very nice sight.

Yes i understand need to have a heart of steel.. Lol.. Im planning to upgrade to a 5ft or 6ft tank once i get new place next year or early 2016.
So its not advisable to have a 2pcs comm? What about if i comm my XB now with 2 or 3 juvenile RTGs/HB?

bro, you may have to add at least one wave maker to break up fights & aggression in due course.
