Very nice little group of fish. I remember my little chalk, they are great fish, and very hardy I might add.

but I've also read that they systematically kill each other until one remains.
I did have a monster guppy once that outgrew some of my mollies...but normally I would start wondering if a fish grew to twice the expected maximum size for the species . Maybe the info on the sizes for those fish wasn't as readily available when those cases happened (or maybe that's too much optimism LOL).
For some reason i have always found the Tobacco bass to enjoy company of their own kind more so than the chalk bass when they are little. I think i prefer the tobacco bass for their colours but the chalk bass for their adult size. I suspect that it's being picked on, though I don't have proof. Could also be getting spooked and then running into still unfamiliar rock work.
Both are seriously underrated fish though! Gorgous!
Sorry to hear that Liz, but as you said: you learned the lesson...
