At the moment I've got L411 and L66 in the same tank and L134's in a tank on thier own. Can I put them all together? Or would it be better to divide the tank? The L134's are in a 4ft tank. All are young around 2" there would be lots of caves, wood and hiding places, but heard alot of people say L134's can be quite nasty.

Well the L134s would be fine with either as they are Peckotia and other 2 are hypan so would be fine , oyu would not get any cross breeding, but the l134 might get a bit aggressive when they get older. but L411 and L66 will be fine together

Mixing fry is fine as long as you can separate them by L Number /species later.
I put some L066 in with some L129,s once and spent ages sorting them out later.
As for hybridization don't get me going on that one, all Hypans are hybrids any way.

Thanks for your help, I've put a couple in with the L134's, there's a bit of chasing going on, is this anything to worry about? No one looks injured or anything but the l66 has taken a liking to the same cave as one of the L134's.
