I purchased 4 RT BB Zebra a few weeks ago. I may have a problem brewing. I was given 2 male and 2 female. My males are battling with lip locked twisting fights more and more frequently. I am hoping the other 2 are truly female, but, I believe they are. They are in a 70g tank along with Yellow Labs, M. Auratus and Red Scats. Do you think the Zebras have enough room to co-exist or should I remove a male? If removal is recommended, would you take it back in trade? The males are beautiful, but, I don't want to keep them till one of them kills the other.

lemme know...thanks

fighting is normal

serious injury or death should not be tolerated

strongly suggest you get a small back up tank when keeping ANY type of large cichlids
(ask for the special, free 2, 5, or 10 g tank with purchase of filter and heater)

if the fighting is out of control
yah
you can bring him back

so you think 2m Zebra can co-exist in this set up?

my cellar is full of spare tanks of all sizes, but I will keep that in mind if my filters need replacing

thanks, I'll keep an eye on them...they are a stunning fish and would like to keep them if possible
