Well I have a 29 on campus with 4 baby SRT Blue Dragon crosses I am trying to grow out to go home by the end of the semester, but probably sooner. Running 2 AC 30 powerheads, one with the micron filter in the prefilter and the other with a prefilter stuffed with bioballs from another established tank at home. Just trying to figure out something to put in there to help them come out from hiding behind the powerheads. Tried a single decoration dragon thingy to give them more security in the middle of the tank but no interest aside of their nooks behind the prefilters. Even an airstone to agitate the tank isn't working like it usually does for any babies I've raised.

Any ideas? I put a Trinidad pleco in help scavenge some of the food because they are too timid to eat...

They are not fighting yet, though they are showing to be a little territorial over 'their' prefilters to one another.

Thanks!
 
Honestly I'd probably leave them. Seems like they've chose their territory/spot. I'd rather have them each in their spot then attacking each other out in the open. They will come around as they grow.

I'm guessing they're small right.. How big?
 
They are about inch and a half each, largest pushing two inches. Dithers mainly I was looking into to distracting them from fighting later.
