Anyone see a problem with temporarily housing two large 2'+ TSNs in a 40"x60" tub, and longer term in a 4'x7' tank? I know the tanks will support the bioload, but I don't know if TSNs will fight or not.
 
i have 3 together at 12-14" no problems, they have been to gether since they were 3.5" though...i don't think the issue you'd have would be from fighting, but more from space for each fish as they continue to grow...though those are ok dims for temp home...as you said longer term not life so i belive you plan an upgrade when it is called for...

The longer term tank I'm not especially worried about space. Like I said it is a 4 foot by 7 foot rectangle - I should have a year or two before they outgrow that. I just wondered how peacefully they will cohabitate in a relatively cramped condition (the smaller, temporary tub) They don't swim much, but I didn't know how much territory they might want to themselves, or if they even tend to care.
