size difference

[vildotcom]

i have a 3.5'' senegalus with x2 2'' delhezi (just got them!) im acclimating them right now but my senegalus seems a lot bigger!

im worried that he may eat them! could this happen? these guys are in a 10 gallon by themselves for growout into the 72. also, i need to get rid of the exos and jewels that are terrorizing the 72 gallon.

I had my sen with my albino sen for a while they were 4.5 -5 and 3-3.5 respectively. Never any aggression between the two.

thanks. they're together now and they look fine. just to be safe i'll throw in some extra plants for hiding.

Keep them well fed and I severly doubt you'll have any issues. Its the lower jaw species you really have to be cautious about when it comes to eating tank mates.
