Really? Everything I have read so far online has led me to believe rainbows only reach 3-4". So is it a territory space issue or an aggression issue with rainbows? I have seen and heard good things about keyholes, so I still might stick with getting a pair of keyholes and removing 2 of the rams. The only LFS that has told me they can get them say they are seasonal and they won't likely be available until late spring and early summer. Well I have lots of options. I am going to the TBAS fish club meeting in 2 weeks for their plant auction. Hopefully I can network myself in with some of the breeders and see if they have anything I might be interested in. I might even try for 2 pairs (found out last night I actually have 2 females and 3 males). The tank is heavily planted, so I think they will plenty of territory. Right now the bottom is being taken up by the 4 severum and the breeding pair of GBR I have. The other 3 stay in the middle mostly. I think once the severum are out, the female that isn't paired up will pick one of the males (they both try to court her, but I think the lack of space for egg laying is causing her to stave off the males) and settle down.
