my friend has 5 in his 24G, they never fight and all sit/perch in their own coral
i think it is do-able but i would add them all at the same time just to keep them less agressive
thanx tang but now my question is water flow? i have a very strong intake for my filter i sponged it off before but it's still real strong would the smaller fish be able to put up with it?
yeah they should be fine, they will perch themselves in places that they like so if the current is too strong they will find a cave or overhang where that they like
by the way where in NJ are you located
