For the first time. How do I go about doing this?
Tiamat and Mandarin have met before and while there was some tail-waving on behalf of Tiamat, there was very little aggression. I took this as them getting along okay.
Right now they are in two separate tanks. Tiamat is in the 20 gal and Mandarin in the 10. I would like them both in the 20 gal. Do you think that's enough room? I'll have four hides available. There are also some nooks and crannies in the tank as well what with all the decor.
I suppose I should clean the tanks thoroughly so that Tiamat's scent isn't too strong all over the place, right?
Also, and most importantly (for me, lol) how should I deal with Mandarin choosing a poo spot? I suppose there's no science to getting them to go in one spot. Tiamat has chosen right next to her warm hide. I have a piece of tile there for her. But, in her 10 gal, Mandarin chose on top of her warm hide. And before that she would go on the background. D: (I have one of those foam, fake rock backgrounds.) How should I prepare for that? Place paper towels in all the corners so it's easier to clean? I'm afraid she'll go on Tiamat's background, too. And that's a pain to clean! I had to throw out Mandy's because it stunk!
Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice! Thank you.
