So, I just introduced a Swalesi and Swissguard basslet at the same time to a new 32 gallon tank. At first they didn’t care about eachother, now I’m seeing possibly dominant/aggressive behavior from the swissguard. I attached a few videos, the swissguard is nudging the swalesi over and over sometimes it seems like the swalesi flutters to show submissiveness? Anyone have any clue? If it becomes too much I will move a basslet out! I got this idea from Jake Adams (RIP) and his 3 different basslets together video.

Would be very interesting if they paired up, we shall see!

Welp if anyone cares, in the past few hours after a bout of maybe aggression it seems they are getting along better? Swalesi is submissive to the swissguard and they follow eachother around brushing against eachother… sharing the same cave always..will update! There’s no info online anywhere when it comes to Liopropoma of different kinds pairing or getting along, other than Jake Adams video.

For those who read this in the future, sadly the pair was too good to be true. Came home from work and the Swalesi had become dominant against every fish in the tank and I had to remove my Swissguard and put him in my other tank because he was beaten up. He will be okay, but I’m sad it didn’t work out like in Jakes video!
