I think space wise if they get along il be able to keep them here until around 10"-1' , but that will depend on if they tolerate each other. Currently smallest is at 3" largest is 10"

Thanks guys. The tank is 8x3x30" I think (L x W x H) . I've just taken a big risk and removed the divider between the two sides of the tank. So far my larger goliath has accepted the smaller ones. I do feel that this is due to how many dithers I have in there
If u dont mind me asking is that tank custom made? Or a company sells them premade with those dimensions? Looking to upgrade soon. Tia

Custom made , but I bought it second hand. Believe it used to be a reef tank. Honestly you're better off going for a fibreglass pond with a viewing panel or build your own

Little update. Tigers are quickly catching up the bigger one. So far so good. Hierarchy is established. . No fighting just the odd chase here and there. Key is to feed more than once a day

Big guy is 10" little ones around 4-5" . Hoping to introduce them at around 6-7". So far the smaller ones are behaving nicely. Noticed that as soon as I put a really strong powerhead in , they cut the squabbling out immediately

I’m guessing a big eye. They are known to be caught with Goliaths so probably how you got him mixed with your 4 Goliaths. Need a closer look at him though
