After a couple years out the hobby I got the itch again. Setting up a 150 for hopefully a pair of Haitiensis. Going to get maybe a group of 8 hoping to get a pair out of them. For those of you who have successfully raised Haitiensis from a small size would you keep the group and let them pair up? Or would you divide them all in the tank until they're bigger before trying to have them all together and pair up? I only plan on keeping the pair. I pretty much believe bloat is due to stress so if not divided do you have the experience of only the strong survive or is it a case where everyone in the group got stressed and then died of bloat?
I plan on keeping them in 86F water with plenty of aeration and an auto water change system in the sump that will change about 25 gallons out daily.
