[QUOTE="Chaos!, post: 210531"] Okay, so I was stupid and listened to the PetCo guy when he told me CAEs stayed small and peaceful and would be fine as a community fish, and I bought three for my 55 gallon tank. I thought I'd read before about that not being the case, but I wasn't sure if it was the same fish. None of the ones I bought is over 2", so they're young. When I got home, I looked online to verify PetCo Guy's advice, and discovered they could in fact get somewhat large and aggressive. I *knew* I should have gone with the otos... Anyway. They're in my tank now, along with 10 corys, 5 congo tetras, 6 serpae tetras, and 15 neon tetras. Will they be alright with these fish? When they get older I know I'm probably going to have to re-home 1 or 2, but I want to keep at least *one* long-term, because I do rather like them. I'm relatively sure the serpaes and maybe the congos can defend themselves, but I'm worried about the corys and the neons. Do you think I'll have problems in the future? [/QUOTE]
