male BNs, if fighting may kill one or each other of too badly wounded. I would not keep two male BNs in same tank once they are adults.

From experience I agree, in fact adult male bns can be aggressive to other plecs of similar size especially when it comes to feeding times.

Add more hiding spots and if that doesn't work then move everything around so that they have to establish territories again and if that doesn't work you will have to remove one otherwise even if one doesn't kill the other outright the continual stress will kill at least one of them.

froggie, I guess yours did not fight becasue no female present or were not ready to breed and set up territory?
i think you were lucky, maybe some have more peaceful natures but I would not take the risk personally.

Mr jacks - how are they? how big is the tank?
