Ok, so I recently acquired 21 F1 Petros (I will post pics ASAP). They are about 4 inches long each (give or take an inch). The males are coloring up very, VERY nicely. I have them in a 215 gallon tall (6x2x2.5) tank. They've acclimated well and three males have taken up territory in the tank. One is especially territorial and will not let anybody on his side of the aquarium. He is the smallest, meanest, and most colorful male of the three. The females and subordinate males are basically just corralled into a corner of the tank, but seem to be doing fine. There is a lot of shaking going on everywhere... hopefully breeding signs and not just male on male action. Eating very well on NLS. My question is.....
How well will the majority of the petros do (18 of them) being that they aren't really allowed to do anything but swim up and down the wall so they aren't in any of the 3 males' territories? I've heard a lot about the aggression of petros and this is my very first colony - I don't want to be losing fish until there is just one left like the stories that I've heard.
