They go for 9 a piece around here. So i would say thats good. You say you got 7, what size tank. 7 would be good for a 20 maybe smaller. If you give them to much space they fight. They are different then other more common fish.

yeah i got them in a 29 gal tank for now.
probably gonna get more soon and move them to a bigger tank.

I would not get a bigger tank. These fish are different from others, they need to be crowded in a tank somewhat or they will attack each other. I am no exo professional. But i would say that you need to double the amount you have now and keep them in the 29. I read in another post on here that the correct stocking for exo's was to take the tank gallons and divide by 2 and that is how many exo's you need. So 5 exo's for a 10g- 10 exo's for 20g-15 exo's for a 30g-etc-etc. And if I remember correctly that was minimum stocking.
 
I've had exos before and totally agree. Pack em' in or face disaster. Even so, you'll need some hiding places for the smaller, weaker fish. Expect damage.

do you think it would be okay to put some inch and a half exodons with some inch or half inch exodons?

Tough call because I've never done that. Instincts are telling me no
