I have too may tanks running right now, so im thinking of combining these two tanks.

one question, will two BGK's be able to live in a 55g tank together?

I hear there may be some problems with that, which is why i ask.

I dont care if a BGK gets too big for the tank, i already plan on removing them when they get too big.

Also, a purchase of a 125g maybe in the future, could2 BGK's live in there ok?

Thankyou.

they fight with their own kind but if you have lots of hiding places it will probably help to control it. do you already have them? if yes how big are they?

I wouldn't risk it. BGKs can be quite unpleasant with each other (especially so in cramped quarters), and if you got a bad apple I'd be afraid that the other would be bullied to death.

Keep in mind that a single BGK should eventually have a good 75 gallons of water to itself, so I don't think that two would work in a 125.
