possible shoal of 4 Rhom???

[RonTheRHOM]

ok, i have my own thoughts on this, so i want to hear what some of u guys think.
i got my rhom from a pick of 4 that had been imported to my lfs, he was the slightly bigger and more dominant of the 4, and had no nips or fins missing, where the other 3 did. heres the thing.... my lfs cant get rid of the 3 they have left, they are kept in a small tank about 1.5ft long with just a piece of bog wood in. they have barely grown, all still between 1.5"-2" where mine has grown to 3.5"-4". BUT these 3 have not killed each other while living in such a small tank together, they have nipped each other, but no more than the red bellies that my lfs keep, probly coz they dont feed them enough.
so do u guys reckon they could possibly learn to tolerate each other since they have been together in the same tank since babies??
also, if i put them in with my rhom, do u think either they, or ron will be killed?
i personally think it may work, and if it did it would be very unique, who else got a shoal of rhom??? lol
i only thought about this as i read that in the wild, although generally rhoms are lone predators, they are 'sometimes' seen in small shoals.
do u think its worth a shot?

This co-hab will not work, in the end you'll end up with just one rhom.

It would be cool though... a tank full of Rhoms..

Won't work.

If u do plan on doing this...let us know how it turns out..

Got money to burn-

Try it out----

I see failure in the long run though....

There's a tiny slim chance it may happen in the wild with unlimited amounts of room but in captivity, I think you'll end up with one.

I kept three for some time together...First time I missed a day of feeding I ended up with two together...Second time I missed a feeding I ended up with one very fat and happy looking Rhom.
The moral is if they are well fed, have a couple of target fish and a large enough tank they may co-exist.

Never-

It will always just be a matter of time before one lays claim to the whole tank
