I would like to hear from some of you keepers out there, that keep a couple of RF Cherry males in the same herd.
I have three males; one 8 years old, one 15 years old and one nearly 40 years old.
My problem is that the 8 year old and the 40 year old males go very well together, and live in the same herd all the time. But as soon as I let the 15 year old meet the other two, he starts to fight with the 40 year old male all the time. I have tried several times to let them finish the fight, so they can make up and position themselves in the hierarchy. But I have to separate them after 20-30 minuter or so, since they nearly bite each others legs and heads off...
What do you suggest ? Should I keep them separated in two herds like I have now or should I give them even more time to "get to know each other" by fighting ?
I know that Cherry males tend to be more agressive and intolerante against other Cherry males than for example Northeners...
Please advice
