Question: At what size can I place my little axys together???

[BIGBODYBEAR]

I have three 3 inchers & a 6 incher , the little ones are in their own separate tanks in the big ones tank

now they can see each other because when the big ones swims by the little ones sometimes snap at the wall where the big one is close, i have never seen the big one snap at their tanks though,

i have read that you cant keep them together , but i have also read that you can after the little ones reach a certain size & i have seen videos & pics of them swimming in harmony,

i would like to know how to integrate them in the big ones environment

i will also attach a pic of my set up so you can see how i keep them

sorry for the blurryness iphone 3 camera sucks ***

your big guy will eat them at that size... you need to wait till the babies are at least two thirds his size... and even that might not stop him having a go...

ill wait till the little ones are about 5 inches before i put them in with the big one , the little guys are growing fast & the big guy looks like it hasnt grown much lol

what size tank is that?

 

[BIGBODYBEAR]

Its a standard 55 gallon tank, tons of space for all of them

I was about to start a thread about this, but my situation is a little different. I have three axies
in a 15g tank. And I'm really excited to put them together but my melanoid axie is the biggest
of them three, almost four inches. The two leucistics are just above three inches, I was thinking if
they are big enough to be put together?
