Pairing/Grouping Assessors

solitude127 · 12/08/2016, 05:33 PM

How difficult is it to Pair or Group Yellow Assessors? Every now and then, I see trio's available on DD but was wondering if it's something that can be done easily by buying 2 or 3 assessors.

I managed to get 4 yellows and 2 blues to peacefully cohabit in a 250L tank. Each were added as individuals. I never saw any aggression but every now and then I'd notice a chunk out of a tail fin. I had them together for just over a year but unfortunately lost all but 1 when moving tanks

Thank you for your input.

Anybody else have any experience?

I kept an ORA Yelliow Assessor and Randall's Assessor together in my 150 G with no problem at all for maybe eight months before they died in a tank crash. They both kept out of each other's hair, maintaining separate territories about ten inches apart. I never saw any issues when they bumped into each other, but they didn't really seem to like to hang out.

Are Assessors hermaphrodites?
