Never a good idea to have more than one unless you have a 300 gallon tank so there is NO shortage of food. They are competing for the same food so yes the larger will pick on TIL death on the smaller one. Need to get the little guy outa there. IMHO.

Guess will get him out of the tank and take him to the LFS.I know their not a lack of food in my tank been up for 7 years with about 150+lb of LR.If I can even catch him to take him may be the question

What do you think if I put him in my wet dry with some rock till my other tank is done cycling ??LFS here say they will not credit me anything so that will not happen then.

for territorial issues, dragonettes can't be mixed unless they are a male and female, probably, like stated, competition for food. how much water volume is there in the wetdry? how long until your new tank is up?

Probly like 5 gallons in the wet dry.I cant see my self giving it to a pet store for free maybe will bring to my friends house if im giving it away.This just started a couple of days ago they been in their togeter for about 3 months with no problems.He got to go though he just hides all the time.It will be probly a week or so till it done cycling.
