| Without doubt they will have their disagreements until they determine which is the more dominant of the two. If one is a lot smaller then the other it usually doesn't cause too much drama from what I have found. If they are evenly matched then you might need to keep a close eye on them for damage. They can be quite frisky with their territorial battles. It would probably also help if you perhaps had 3 or 4 caves until they both settle on their preferred spot. Then you could take the others out. I would place caves as spread out as possible so they don't need to venture into the others territory unnecessarily. | |

thats real good advice also dont put the caves faceing each other. | |

| First off rinoh: how big is the tank in question? A 3ftr = possible drama's, a 4ftr would be better suited for a couple of pairs and like skippy suggested excess caves with 2 lots of caves at either ends of the tank, this way territories will be split at either sides of the tank. J | |

| Just about every species of fish will have male vs male territorial spats, some having worse outcomes than others. J | |
