Do Crestie's prefer to live alone or in a pair?

I'll say it again. Unless you want an incomplete crestie keep them on their own. There are not many complete cresties about that live in pairs/groups. Our Bert uses his tail alot and I know he would miss it if it was not there :)

When mine were youngsters I had an issue with bullying, Brindle the larget and dominent female nipped off part of Flames tail and Harley (who was the smallest of the group back then) lost his tail compeletely. So Brindle was removed, now they are older and the same size the females Brindle and Flame live happily together, and Harley now lives seperate untill I want to breed them. So has laws said its down to weight and personality.

It all depends of weight and obviously personality . Clutch mates are ok together provided u watch for bullying and tail nipping which can happen if they mistake tails for live food . However in adults females generally with the odd exception do ok providing the tank is plenty big enough and the females are closely matched in size . I've been told a few grams can make the difference etc.
Adult males should it be housed together as they will fight .
