Given enough wood in the tank to provide territories and refuge, then they will be OK. I would however worry about adding them to such a new tank in the short term. If it were me, I'd wait until the tank was established before adding another .

Well in all my books and where I look on the web plus freinds experience the thing is that 190 can't cope with tank mates of his own kind. They are highly territorial and will fight in the darkness.
I will take care of the one I have and enjoy his company. I will even spoil him a bit with a new Tunze 6125 to provide The exstra flow in sufficient oxygen fresh water.
I want to grow him up to aldult.

I was in doubt if a tank mate was a good idea. I have made mind mind up for the one in my tank.

Cheers
Mark
