Looking around at Youtube and Google images, I see many people keeping theses guys with tankmates and with conspecifics. At what size / age do they stop tolerating tankmates? I understand there is no exact answer. I just want to know what your experience is. I have one normal and an albino that will get here in a couple of days. My normal is about 14" and has a couple "friends" with no problems - so far.
 
Oh, my aethiopicus turns aggressive when he turned 40cm. Bite everything that goes into the tank, even tweezer is not tolerated.
