My 18-19 inch juru and 14 inch tig have been cohabing for a year now in my 600 gallon just curious to see if anyone else has had lick cohabing them after they grew out?
 
In my experience this cohab only works up until 10in. I separated at this point, tig was getting the best of my juru. But in that size setup it’s very possible. Both territorial

Sure you don't want my .02 cents, but from what I've read the tig is always the aggressor in this situation so your jur wing bigger may be the main reason it's working
 
M mustang93svt has had two 2' adults in a 400 gal or some such for a long time, years, and they were fine with each other.

My experience is puny. I have had a 14" tig with smaller jurs, ~8", for a couple of months in 240 gal. Haven't noted any problems yet.
 
That maybe the case.... hoping it works out for life in the 600... it is open tho no driftwood or anything for territory.....8x4 footprint def helps
 
I've kept a 16" Tig with a 12" Jur previously without issues, they shared the tank with a similar sized Planiceps and a 20" TSN in my 240 with two very large pieces of driftwood. I've never had any aggression between my shovelnose cats unless one was small enough to be eaten by another.

FWIW also cohabbed a 28" TSN, 22" Lima, and 20" Planiceps in my 1100 and a 30" Planiceps and 13" Brachy Capa in my 480 without any problems.
