There must have been a fair amount of fights, right? I would guess so as they matured.

Not really, it was the opposite for me, most of the fights were as juveniles or late arrivals in an established community. I got around the late arrival fights by taking the others out of the community, rearranging the tank, doing a water change, dimming the lights, and then put them all in at once, that usually helped.

In my opinion the blacks were the mellowest and easiest to community together, except as babies when they were still black especially, they were ruthless. On 2 occasions with 3 or 4 blacks it was always a battle royale, and in the tank with the green, black, and afro babies it was the black who seemed the frailest, but was by far the most aggressive of the bunch. But as they matured, the survivors all seemed to accept each other, with very few nips even, it usually went so well that it was obvious that as adults, some even preferred to be in each others company.
