Over under on Black Ps

I've been growing out 5 Peru rhoms all between .5 -3/4" in my 150g planted setup... What's the size they will reach before I have to transplant them to other tanks? They seem to have there territories settled for the time being... Most of them are closer to 3/4" (3) while the other two are closer to the .5" mark.. This is my first Black P setup... 80 degrees, 150g tall, feeding black worms mostly with some ghost shrimp roaming, and occasional rosies with 2 mystery snails on cleanup.

Good luck with that. Rhoms are solitary and best kept alone. They are also very cannibalistic as juveniles. You will end up with one fish, which may or may not be permanently disfigured in due time.

This is all understood.. The question was how long do you think i have before i need to transplant them...

I'm gonna guess 6". They live with each other in the wild just fine. I had a similar setup and they kinda just stayed to themselves for the most part, occasional fights here and there.

Good luck with the experiment...
