when to down-size the shoal

[dad_jsp]

I currently have 11 rbp's in a 100g long (72x18x18). At what size should I sell off a few and how many?

They are 4"+ now and getting along fine. I feed them once a day and they still eat everything I throw in the tank. I know they will only need to be fed every other day soon. I guess I am thinking they will start nipping each other after I stop feeding them everyday.

I have 1 AC110 and 1 FB300 fluidized bed filter on the tank. I keep the water at 78 degrees.

i would down size slowly if i were you. maybe take one out every couple months untill they are about 8 inches then i'd keep 6 or so in there. i'd start with the smallest or least desireable first and go from there till you have 6 real nice ones. but i probably wouldnt start to downsize for a couple months

Agreed.
