Okay...I had to buy it...it was BEAUTIFUL!
hahaha
Anyways, my local fish supplier had a gorgeous maroon for sale (actually, he wasn't going to sell it but I just had to have it). So...I bought it.
Here's the problem...I know it's extremely hard to have 2 maroons in the same tank. Has anyone ever had any success with this before?
I had a little gold banded maroon in my 8 gallon, and a small false perc. in my 40 gallon. I switched out those two, and put the new maroon in with the gold one in the 40 gallon. So far, they are buddies...swimming together and nudging up together and also doing their own thing in the tank as well. The new one is about an inch larger than my first one.
If they are getting along this well now, can I hope they will continue to get along and possibly pair up? Or am I just asking for one to get beat up?
I was hoping by putting them in the tank at the same time one wouldn't have been established and get crabby.
Well...here's hoping for the best...

Yeap! I did the same exact thing that you did about three months aga and both of my goldstripe maroons have been ok. So I believe that you'll be ok.
About five months gao I tried to introduce a smaller one with the current larger one I had and the small one ended up dead within hours! So, I think that if they got along ok since the beginning, You'll be ok!
Just in my experience.
Good luck!

That's what I'm hoping.
If the one at the store had been the same size as my other one I most likely wouldn't have gotten it, but luckily it's larger.
