...in HOW LARGE a tank?

If an experienced hobbyist is asking, it's a good bet he's researched tank size and is asking about specific hostilities/incompatible habits.

If a novice is asking, it's impossible to answer without KNOWING the tank size in question, because aggression usually is more a function of tank size, than of species. I keep a damsel tank, a 105. If I put these damsels, even as babies, into a 50, there would be death and dis-fin-ment. As is---there is just territorial and dominance demonstration, and no problem.

You have to ask. Of course you have to ask. But remember to include tank size in the question.
