I upgraded my tank to a 100 gal. I have a severum,ebjd, bahia red all 3-4" should I add my little 1" severums? My other fish are not very aggressive or mean.

Should I hold off a little longer and let them grow out a bit more? Or will they be ok?
 
You could try it. I added my festivums & jurupari from my growout when they were a lot smaller than my severums etc. and it was fine, but if you notice the big fish have your little guys hiding/cornered all the time I'd take them out. If they're stressed they'll never grow.

If they ignore the small ones it should be OK though.
 
Thanks. They are still adjusting in the QT still being shy not eatting much. So I will wait till they are more active and eatting to add them. They had a long ride to my house I just got them 3 days ago.
