Probably the Poly section
I stopped in at the store I got my IT from and they had a NGT of about the same size that looked awesome. Could I put him in with my IT? Both are about 4.5" and would be going in my planted 125 until they outgrow that eventually. Can I have just 2 Juvis or do I need to buy another haha.
 
Anything? I know that NGT's are supposed to be slightly more aggressive but will he pick on my IT? or would it be better to just stick to IT's? The store also had a couple more IT's about the same size as mine. Im just loving my little guy and wouldn't mind having a few more. Watching him stalk his bloodworms and beefheart through the plants is so cool! He did get in a little fight with one of my loaches the other night over some beefheart though, but he doesnt seem too aggressive towards any of my other fish.
 
I've got an IT, NTT, and NGT all within 3-6" and they play nice. They'll have small fights over territory, but nothing terrible that would cause concern.

Depends on the fish but I've had IT, NGT, NTT, and AT all in the same tank no real problems and they were from 2" to 8". Also larger dats together 6" to 14".

Yep depends on the individual fish although NGT are well known for their aggression.
 
alright thanks guys! maybe he'll end up in my tank. they had an IT with some weird split bars so now im torn between the two.
