Zonatus and silver dollers

Zonatus are crazy. At 5 inches is where they start getting really crazy. I'd say that 3 Zonatus at 5 inches are gonna kill each other until they get down to 1 pretty quick. But, once you get down to 1 left, I think it'd be OK in a 180 by itself with some dithers.
Let's hope the one that lasts is the best looking one. I have 4 from the same source, and I'm starting to notice that some are more blue than others. I have one that's pretty drab, very little blue, and it's the biggest meanest one of the group.

Only way to know is to try. I had a put a few growouts (3inches) in a 150 with a 9 to 10 inch pearsei and 10 to 12 in polypterus. The little zo's were maniacs. Shredded the polys and nipped all the trailers off of the pearsei.
I did just as ragin cajun said and ended up with 1. Oddly though the one by himself hasnt been nearly as aggressive as when it was kept in a group. Currently sharing a tank with a small poly and l200 pleco. As of yet no issues
Not saying it wont work just was my experience

I grew one up to 11-12 inches in a 1-1.5 years. Bigger he got, the meaner he got. I finally ended up having to re-home him.
And that was in a 540 Gallon tank.
I don't know if that was just him,or if that's the species. But I'll know in about 6-8 months
