Hey!
Slugsy and Audrey (My Irrubescos) seem to get on well, theres no fin nipping so far and generally just ignore each other. However sometimes Slugsy will charge at Audrey, she will either flick away from him or curl round and face him (then he stops) he never bites her or makes contact and he doesnt do it too often, sometimes (mainly during feeding) they will barge into each other and shove the other out the way! is this common behaviour? From what I can tell they dont bite each other and most of the time just ignore each other, anyone else had luck keeping Irrubescos together?
Just thought I would add a piccy of Audrey's pretty tail and awesome camouflage!

The first time Bollo tried to eat Naboo's food Naboo gently barged Bollo, he hasn't done it since (he now lets Bollo eat the little bit's that fly off during the feeding)
I think it's just their way of sorting out who's the boss
They may not have bitten each other yet, but I think when they boss each other like that, it's only a matter of time until it becomes violent... I know people have had them together, but I personally would not try it because they are so aggressive.
