I have the blues....

......a pair of them actually!

I picked up a pair of GBR on my way home from work today. I thought I had a male and female but after getting home with them I'm pretty sure the guy at Petsmart netted 2 females.

Will 2 females be ok together?

Here is a bad picture of them acclimating.

So it been about three hrs or more, how do they like their tank?

[tate8]

They seem to be doing well.

I'll know more in the morning. Hopefully the will acclimate and flourish.

I just don't know much about pairing. Whether they need a "mate" or if sex matters.

I'm pretty sure I have 2 females and I don't know if I need to add a male or if I need to take one of them back and trade for a male.

Or for that matter, if I should just add 2 males to the tank.

[~firefly~]

I wouldn't add two males. Others will be able to confirm this but I'm pretty sure you'll have issue with that.

Let's have some photos of them in there

If you want a pair I would probably add one female. But 2 females will probably be okay. :)

Let me know how it goes -- thinking of getting some myself soon.

[tate8]

Should I add a male or exchange one of the females for a male?

I really don't want to take one back if I can have 2 females and 1 male.

Here is a pic of my girls.

So pretty - and I'll bet they will color up even more as they get to feeling more secure. Nice job!

I took one back tonight. She seemed to be aggressive toward the other girl. Petsmart didn't have any males in stock so I just returned her and was thinking about checking next week to see if they received a male.

I might just keep one if she will do ok by herself. I just don't know much about pairing/keeping a single ram.
