Post Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2010 11:17 am   2 Male RES Fight?

So I think I have 2 Male 1 Female RES. If that is the case do you guy think the 2 Male will fight at all?

Earlear I was watching them and I started to walk over the the tank and seen 2 of them like, fighting with each other using there front feet and they were like spinnin all hard core.. i dont think they were trying to bite eachother tho. Do you guys think they are fighting or what? there both the same size while one is much larger (the one i think is female) and they wre all about the same size when i got them and I do make sure they eat just about the same ammount of pellets a day so one is not over fed.

Sin-3R - If I understand you correctly, they are fluttering at or with each other. It is probably a dominance thing and could be a pre-fight situation. If one of them don't give in they may fight. Keep and eye on them.

what all do they do in a fight? do they try to kill each other usually or just a "Bite the crap once" kinda deal?

Sin-ter -- If they cannot work the dominance thing out, one of them could get really hurt or killed. You will have to seperate them. Meaning another set up! Good Luck!
