Cardinal Battle Royale tomorrow

I've posted a few times in a few forums with no response so I'm assuming that I'm the only one to ever try this fish combination. Tomorrow, unless I'm advised otherwise, I'm adding my two pajama cardinals to my 75 gallon, which has a school of seven glass cardinals in it. The pajamas don't bother anything in their current tank (firefish, sleeper goby, coral beauty, shrimp) so hopefully they won't bother the smaller cardinals. I know sometimes mixing the same species is risky, but they really look nothing alike and maybe that will be the deciding factor.
 
Get an acrylic Skeet that you can cut to fit inside your tank.
then drill some holes through it for water movement, but small enough the fish can't fit through.
Then divide the tank in two and see if they charge the acrylic. That will be a good deciding factor.
Also, they may initially fight, but once they find out they cannot get to one another they stop, and then you remove the divider, and they get along well. That's how i've solved a quarrell or two in my past.
 
Nice idea but my aquascaping would make that an impossiblility. The good news is that all the fish are in the tank together and I think there was enough confusion that they never thought to attach anyone!

Strangely enough, my firefish instantly joined the school of glass cardinals.
