scombs can be aggressive too...

i would stick w the tats. if the tats and rhaphs dont get along, i would make a choice between rhaph and tat.

how big are they getting now?
Really? The rhaph are near 30cm and the tat is 25cm. I got myself 6 scombs today, will see what happens...
pics soon!
 
sorry for the long wait!
Here is a pic of one of them!

If by Tat aggression you are talking about flashing and jaw flapping then that is just normal tat behaviour and not so much aggression.

When i had my 3 in the tank they would do this alot. Sometimes all 3 would flash at each other at the same time. And they did the jaw flapping during and after feedings or anytime feeders were in the tank.

I only had the group for 1.5 years but never once did I see them even touch each other. And they schooled together often.

I see, tat's seem fine with each other but my tat has scarred the eye of one of my rhaphs. It probably was trying to snatch the food out of his mouth.
But I think scombs look better anyways, plus I want to find out why scombs die premature. Or maybe, I'll suceed in growing them up, fingers crossed!
 
The scomb looks nice and full! :D No agression as of now I assume?
