the total length of the adult fish, depends on a few factors,

tank size
water quality
feeding
etc
but mostly it's gentetics, you may get a larger growing one, you may get one that grows a little smaller, captive males, tend to max out at 19-20", captive females at 16", so they should get to about that.

also when fry grow together in the same tank, the bigger ones are usually the dominant ones, if removed then a new dominant fish emerges, therefore i believe that your seven "runts" will do fine as far as growing out is concerned
