Please say it is ok or hubby will go nuts if I say I need another to keep little ted company

that applies to all torts, yes I think they do like company but can you really have enough room for two adults should they not get on, if you can then go for it if you can't then don't.

torts dont hang about in groups in the wild, they just sort of bump into each other so it should be okay but personally i'd go for 2 but only if you have the room etc.but only you can decide that.

Hi Bindi,

Love the name Ted

I don't think torts need company, it's more a human decision

Do you mean Jackie ?

I think they are ok on their own too Jackie, especially if that is all they are used to. Two males or a male and a female could well be asking for trouble anyway, especially the size these babies get lol

they should be kept in groups of 15 or more, like glowlight tetras

**Bindi** · 28-06-2011, 08:29 PM

Can you imagine 15 Sullys, what a sight that would be
