They are tough, even while young. Juveniles can and will kill each other.

Nice group of growouts. You may want to add a few other hiding places if you don't already to give them ways to separate from each other when the aggression gets high.

this is the current layout minus the spray bar lol. but you can see how small they are in contrast. the place you see him is the rock and slate to the far right. and Thank You

Yeah I had to move my dominant male (juvie) into my larger tank so the other lil ones can grow out without being out competed for food and harassed!

 

[Peacock Rey]

Yea I have five and even the 2 incher is always chasing the other bigger ones off its territory

i had 5 in a 10 gallon tank and just swapped them into a 20 gallon long because of aggression. They will go in a 45 but my fiances convict just had babies so that isnt happening yet
