I re-aquascaped Karma's tank so I could give her a buddy. I took her out, re-scaped the tank, added him, and then added her. She was so aggressive the last time I tried this, I really attempted to keep "lines of site broken" and provide plenty of hiding spaces and a place for him to set up territory. I also added an air bubbler for "distraction" purposes. In addition, I added another ornament for "extra territory".

I've attached pictures. Do you think there's room for him to escape from her?

Thanks, he's a male convict. He's her size. My "big boy" is in the 55 con/jellybean con tank and he's well adjusted, so I took the next biggest boy out of the "baby tank" for her.

So do you think there's "escape" room for him?

there is plenty of hiding places. Make sure he's been in the tank for a little bit before you add her. That way he can have his own zone

I think she's gonna get a hubby

That's exactly what I did. Great minds think alike.

I hope you're right, keep your fins crossed

I love the set-up, Bolivian. I have been wondering, though, why you have a pingpong ball wedged into that top hole. Is it so they don't get stuck in the hole (if so, why is the bottom one open)? I saw this last time, but didn't want to ask, but it's driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

Wow I am so jealous of your castle. I don't have room for one. I wouldn't be able to answer your questions but very nice tank.

Thanks everyone! The good news is Karma hasn't tried to kill the new male, so I may finally have success at giving her a buddy.

I gave Karma a pingpong ball to play with and it scared her, so my daughter wedged it to the castle being a smarty-pants and I left it there hoping Karma would get used to it It's kinda funny because if you look at the castle from a certain angle, it looks like there's a smiley face on top

Btw-I just named Karma's new man Kahn

Beautiful tank! There IS a lot of places to hide. The layout looks great and I love the castle too! How come she wouldn't be afraid of other fish but would be scared of a harmless lil' ping pong ball?

The tank looks really good!

She is a DIVA I love her with all my heart, but I swear psychologically, she's messed up. I mean that in a very sweet way, I promise I currently have 15 convicts. Every single con has a different personality. I even see it in my babies

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Karma and Kahn are still getting along great, so I think we got it this time

Looks good BB.

Only time will tell, but if he has survived this long chances may be good... good luck.
