Haddoni and Magnifica???

[dbraun15]

I have an opportunity to pick up an established Magnifica(3-4 years captive), but already have an established Haddoni. Any experience mixing these two? Any foreseeable issues? Just looking for some advice/ideas. Thanks for the help!

Personally haven't mixed the two --- I have had issues in the past with mixing S. haddonis with other species (( mainly E. quadricolor and M. doreensis )).

One issue that you will have to consider is flow requirements --- Mags being fans of lots of flow, where as S. haddonis are not. Granted, one being rock dwelling and the other being sandbed dwelling will help, but still could be an issue.

What size tank?

90 gallon. Haddoni is established in lower left corner. Idea is to build a rock tower on right side to hours the Mag. Also have flow coming only from the left side, all on the mag. That's the idea anyway. Have an opportunity, but if enough think it's a bad idea I will pass. Most interested in the health of both nems.
