I ordered 2 blue knuckle hermits, 1 Halloween hermit and currently have one Mexican red leg in my tank.
the Halloween and blue knuckles were added today and don’t seem to care about each other one bit.
However, the Mexican Red Leg chases down the blue knuckles and latches onto their shells, driving the blue knuckles inside their shell. It’s actually kind of crazy, I’ve separated them 4 times since adding the blue knuckles and every time, it runs toward the blue knuckle.
I presume they aren’t compatible and I made an mistake not checking, so right now I have the Mexican Red Leg in a feeding cup “jail” suspended from my lid.
Can anyone confirm? Thinking about tossing the red leg in the sump chamber until I get my new tank and I can thrown him in the real sump.
I knew they can be aggressive, but this guy seems like a savage and I definitely want the blue knuckles over the red leg. They are way nicer.
