if those 2 cons are a pair they will keep that FH in check you should be fine just keep an eye on them for a while to be sure it will work
 
well the male con has already staked out his territory and the female hangs out pretty close to him, will the cons keeping the FH in check mean that he wont mess with the GTs either?

another question, do only males develop the nuchal hump?
 
Ah ok gotcha
 
The cory, birchir, and gts are all going to die. Convicts can usually hold their own but I wouldn't be surprised if he got to them eventually. This is why you need to research fish before you buy them.
 
thanks for ur help guys, yea sorry it was an impulse buy red dragon FH at 3in for 12bux... couldnt help it, but my dads wanted a FH for a while now so its most likely going to him, as for right now the aggression seems to be minimal, and he only chases so i dont see any biting or fin nipping... yet. im sure itll come eventually, my dads planning on setting up my old 55 into his firplace for a see through wall look until he can get a 75 or 90gal
