Bellus pair

[Alwmh4]

So I'm aiming on getting a Bellus pair. However, only the females seems to be available. Can I get the female and add the male later? Or should I wait ill both are in stock and add at the same time?

I want these in the tank first before I add my tangs... Which are also out of stock.

You can always add two females and one should eventually change to male for you.

 

[Alwmh4]

In the mean time, one wouldn't kill the other?

Can I add one now and another later? Female and female later OR female and male later

 

[Aquaph8]

No, females will be fine together. You should be fine either way .

 

[Alwmh4]

I ordered two Bellus. One female, arrived today. And one male, arrives tomm. I've read you need to add them together. Is one day apart too long?

You will be fine. Depending on size and maturity of fish and size of the tank they can be added separately. 1 day won't make a big difference.

She's almost 4". He's over 4" up to 5"

 

[eatbreakfast]

I wouldn't worry.

 

[Alwmh4]

She's camped out in a cave a constructed today. Should I deconstruct it do she doesn't take over as a territory? I'm only putting light on (dim) for about 4 hrs today and tomm too to give him a good chance to settle in and keep her quiet. (This is just a theory that made sense to me)

That shouldn't be necessary, they will coexist.

 

[Alwmh4]

Awesome. You're my new favorite person

 

[Alwmh4]

So far so good. He's not a big eater but is eating great for one meal a day. Likes only mysis so far. His aggression towards her has lessened. Here's hoping for continued improvement
