Aussie Native Fish Compatability!

hey,

now i have been wanting to get a sooty grunter for a long time, cause they are so cool, but im sorta getting side tracked and thinking of going for a community native tank with a sooty grunter. im thinking of having 2 coal grunters, 1 sooty (mabye), a couple of sleepy cods, and mabye a bass or kahaki grunter. would all these fish be fine together besides the fin nipping and all that.
i no that the sooty is an aggresive fish.

so what do you think? ~~~your thoughts~~~

sooty needs to be kept by itself, u can have bullrout and sleepies. khaki and bass willd o fine together with 1 coal. no more then 1 they will kill each other

no not myself but 1 coal with other fish is bad enough and have had a few mates whove tried and it wasnt pretty

has anyone els tried this mix before or 2 grunters together?

I breed coal grunters and you have to either crowd them or keep them singly. Crowding will still result in some aggression and occasional damage.

Sooty is VERY aggressive

dont get the sooty it will end up a single fish tank very shortly.
