Mixing pbass species

Okay, what about if I got some of Rapps' juvie C. pinima? They're 2.5-3", do you guys think they'd survive with the tems?
 
i have two Tems and 1 pinima from Rapps.. they have been together for about a month and half.. the Tems do pick on the pinima alot but dont cause any damage. they all started about 3 to 3.5 inches in length...the pinima has barely grown and the Tems are at 5 inches. the pinima does get his fill of food but i wonder if the stress of getting picked on has stunted his growth some.
 
Ooh, don't like the sound of that. I've got one slightly larger Temensis and he already has the other 4 tems in check. Sounds like it could possibly be problematic in my case...
 
My pinimas from Rapps grew like weeds!! I never really got into temensis, personally but would you consider selling the tems to turn back some of the cost of the azuls? Temensis get extremely large and aggressive fast, azuls will stay smaller and I have always had them in communities with no major problems. the tems will limit you big time. just my .02 but best of luck either way :)
 
The Tems are here to stay, I was trying to find something to buy to do a Rapps order with my buddy and the pinima are the only thing that caught my eye that Rapps has that I want. The C. piquiti will come at a later time, I don't want to rush into it and spend a bunch of money when I could just wait and perhaps they will make themselves available to me.
 
I talked to Rapps and he has some bigger ones, that way they won't be smaller than my Tems.... The Pinima are really starting to grow on me too :(
