Pete's rufilatas

[paul fleming]

First time I have seen more tha one P.rufilata out at a time.
There are 6 here so seeing 4 is good going.
They are normally all huddled behind the cork log but it is late at night.
They are doing very well as you can see Pete (Poxicator).
Any chance of pics of yours so we can compare sizes....they are the same age so it would be interesting.

How long would you be able to keep them together as a community?

[paul fleming]

For a long time yet I hope.
I have had to split up 3 fasciata communes because of big males bullying the rest.Just unfortunate that they tend to mature quicker and then bully the smaller ones.
I hope I can keep these together as adults,unlike the fasciatas.
May try a formosa commune next I think.
I have finished with trying fasciatas although I do have one pair left, SA male and female from the last commune.I pulled all the rest in time,luckily so no losses there.
