Introducing AFT's

Is it possible to introduce two males for them to live together? one is 6 years old the other is 3 years old.

I do understand that they are territorial.

Re: Introducing AFT's

I would advise against it. Even if they tolerate each other at first it would require constant monitoring and plenty of space so that they could both get away from each other. What size tank were you thinking?

I personally wouldn't take the risk, they are probably more content on their own.

I wouldn't risk it. They can fight no matter what.

Re: Introducing AFT's

After reading the replies we have decided its not worth risking.
The viv the 3 year old is in is 3ft long x 1.5ft deep x 2ft high. The other viv is 4ft long x 2ft deep x 2.5ft high. Lol the little gecko looks lost in that one.

You can always block off part of the tank until the little guy gets a little bigger.
