Scarlet with an Adonis

Post by mitch »

I wonder if you could advise me. I have been offered a scarlet plec for a good price. I quite like the looks of these, but I already have a large Adonis which as you know is aggressive. Would a scarlet be able to hold his own with the Adonis?

Whats the size difference? I dont see any problem if the tank is big enough for both of them when they grow big.

They are both 10"ish and going in a 150gallon tank. I know it mainly depends one the fish but can scarlet plec's be as aggresive as the adonis?

IMO, the adonis is more aggressive than the scarlet.
