    Hi Guys,
    Are SAEs territorial? I have a 2x1x1.5 feet planted tank. I started with 3 SAes (about 2 cm length). They grew over a few months to about 4-5cm. Basically tripled in size. One 'disapperared' one night and today I found the second one on the floor. Only the largest one left. I have noticed the largest one chasing the others around recently. Was I keeping too many SAEs in my tank. My other fish are 8 neon tetras, 2 black tetras, a dwarf puffer. The SAEs don't bother the other fish.

    Thanks
    Azmi

    Same situation for me, they are quite territorial against their own kind.

    Understand that friends come and go,
    but with a precious few you can hold on.

    yes, in small spaces/tanks..they do(2ft). normally keep 1 only. However when in big tanks, they school together...I got 3 in my 4ft tank. They swim/hover side by side...
