I am considering keeping a juvenile Cornuta and a juvenile Lewisi Hybrid in the same enclosure. Is this a combination that can get along? Any wisdom and advice would be appreciated.

I am considering keeping a juvenile Cornuta and a juvenile Lewisi Hybrid in the same enclosure. Is this a combination that can get along? Any wisdom and advice would be appreciated.
I tried this with a male cornuta and a female lewisi x starting when they were both about 4 months old. They only got along for about 4 more months before they became aggressive towards one another and I separated them. You might have better luck, but I would make sure they have an enclosure with plenty of room, and keep them under close supervision. But be prepared for the possibility that they may not get along...

I am thinking I wont try it if the potential for aggressive behavior is there. The Cornuta is a male and Im not sure the sex of the Lewisi X at this point. There is about a year between them in age. Thanks for the information Bri.
Np, and your decision sounds wise as a year's difference is a bit of a size difference as well. Good luck!
