thanks brian. so far one has been the most dominant and has been pushin the other two around. it hasn't gone past nipping but the other two deffenatly keep there space. they all eat together fine just inbetween meals there is some aggresstion. i am hoping they grow out of it, but if they don't ill just keep one again.
the real test is yet to come. i will see if they pick a fight with my vatf once they are of size. my last one did witch caused a premature move to my gar tank. that resulted in my bowfin killing and eating my aro. i should be able to either sell my bowfin or have another tank ready for this group before they need to ne in that tank, if at all.
