goneself Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 As the title says. Cant find much information on the marbled fenestratus compatability...what are they most like aggression wise? Mid american type or more psychotic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Well they are more aggessive than oscars.... but less than red devils. The marbled ones seem a bit more chilled than the normal fenestrata realisticly we need to know how big ya tank is AND how many fennys ya got in there. the more ya have, and the larger the tank..... the more options ya have for tankmates. Not much I'd risk in a small tank with a single large fenny they may be chilled compared to most veja but they can still brawl with the best of them in a cage fight situation things I have had good results housing with them....... texas, snooks, jags, dovii, red terror, green terror, plecos, silver sharks (big) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidkev Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've got a pair in a 4x2x2..................they're less than 2 yr old and they make the tank look small. I've also got one in the 8x2x2 display with a festae, jag, dovii, cuban and green terror and he's the only one without a mark on him. He doesn't scrap but fronts up and they back off. The only one he runs from is the cuban but the cuban breathes a siggh of releief that he doesn't have to follow They are a Vieja after all so the potential for aggro is there, but as DFF says, the marbles seem to have a bit of bad temperament bred out of 'em. kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneself Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks guys, tank is 8x3 on sump.It's my display tank so all fish are males, and I'd only get one fen if I decide to go with them..other fish are cuban, oscar, saum,sev,con, large pictus, plec and buenos aires tetras. Lots of branchy wood. The tetras are expendable and live in daily terror, but somehow haven't been caught yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadFishFloating Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 lol ya buenos tetra are some tough customers tho One fish I'd be watching would be the sev. prob ok, but kinda similar shape likely to come of worse if it came down to it but in an epic 8x3 it should be fine Debree420 has a similar setup and dam the fennys look wicked in it big fish lol Its dam hard to sex marbled fennys hey I mean it looks easy theres ones that are obvious males but yea, half the time they start laying eggs on ya lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneself Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cheers. Might give it a shot, and if not..there will be a cheap marbled fen on the trader. Funnily enough nothing in the tank ever messes with the sev, it's like the ralph wiggum of the group..everyone could beat it up, but why bother? Hangs out front centre with the oscar all day.
