A few fish have recently gotten aggressive and I'm taking this opportunity to move a few other fish around as well. My spiny monster and rhino are currently together but they aren't full grown yet. If I had to estimate then I'd put the rhino at 8.5 inches and the spiny monster at about 6.5 inches. They currently reside together in a 75 gallon but I want to know if there will be any problems with keeping them together down the road. If they should be separated then they each would get their own 75 gallon with few other bottom dwellers.
So, keep them together or separate?
 
Havnt had a rhino pleco but one thing i can say. My L160 cant stand my panaque so i had to seperate them.
 
Did your spiny monster do any damage to your panaque? If so could you describe to me how bad it is? I’m trying to figure out if I want to take the chance of keeping them together.

Nothing really serious but didnt wanna take the risk of one of the damaged. So i started a new tank for my herbivore plecos and let my l160 stay with my jags im growing out.
