I think the knee-jerk reaction from the majority of people would tell you NO but no one can be sure without trying. Every fish is different.

If you have a female already she will give you the answer quickly. Be prepared if she says no.

I feel the same. Some fish will tolerate the same species being introduced and some just won’t. I think with the size of the tank and if the aquascape provides some good coverage and caves it should work. I would try introducing them after a tank feeding or under the cover of darkness.

My thought is what is the emergency?
It is an emergency section for people with an EMERGENCY. Please respect the forum and use it for what it is meant for, AN EMERGENCY.

Yeah I’ve had that a few times. I was able to delete the emergency then add in a new one or vice versa. I wasn’t trying to be a pain. I always click on emergency threads and half the time they are not an emergency. Maybe the mods can make it so it doesn’t auto-populate that field?

I would say be prepared to pull them out at any cost or some will die. I tried it and had 8 in my tank at once, but they all came from the same clutch so it worked. Every fish is different, but this usually results in serious fighting

corey
