i have a trio, but they were all introduced in teh breeding tank at the same time, if you plan on introducing a new famel to an already established pair i woudl be careful of aggression with the 2 females.

Been there, done that, and as careful as I was I lost a good female before I realized it.

yeah i think im just going to try to find someone to trade with for her, i wouldnt mind some lamasi, or yuris. its not worth putting her through the added stress.

i have some green legged individuals if you are interested, i am not sure that you will get anyone who will trade orange or standards for nominat intermedius.

My females showed no aggeression at all for six weeks, then as soon as my guard went down and I stopped watching so close I lost one of them. :? :? Good luck.

How big was your tank? I have a 30 high tank with 2.2 intermedius for about 5 weeks now and haven't noticed much aggression. I know the aggression can be subtle with these guys, but I haven't noticed anything unusual. I have heard quite a few people keeping groups of imitators and intermedius successfully. The 2 females both tend to hang around 1 of the males (the one that calls all the time). The other male is kind of a loner, but he was the last one introduced to the group and he hasn't done any calling. I watch the group closely and never notice anything odd going on between the 2 females, but I am relatively new to thumbnails, so I may not know what to look for. Is there anything in particular that is different from the larger darts? Also, will intermedius and imitator females eat the eggs of other females?

Thanks,

Chris
