I just acquired 3 4"+ Bowfin. I believe 2 are Male and one is female. i say this because the one (female) has a very faded ocellus (eye spot) and is a uniform color (drab) the other 2 have alot of marbling, prominent eye spots and DARK bars through the fins(males). question is , Who has raised more than one bowfin in the same tank? and was there any aggression between them as they matured? (other than fighting over food)Having 2 males and a female may make this worse(at least between the males with a female present) they're currently alone in a 75Gal and are technically still babies. just wondered if i'll have to get rid of a male later down the road or put one male in his own tank. (just trying to plan ahead) Yes, before anyone mentions it, i know how big they get, and the 75 is a pretty good temp grow out tank.they will have upgraded space as they grow. Any thoughts? anyone raise more than 1 together to maturity? thanks

I would imagine one of the males at least would have to go at some point, but the upside is they are maturing together. So it may not ever become an issue.
