big female:3.5"
big male:2.75-3"
small female:2.5"
small male:1.75-2"
they all have been togather over 2 years now. never fight. united against any new comers.
thats because you probably have 3 males and 1 female. even if their are 2 pairs. females rarely, if ever tolerate each other. if one of your males ever does try to become a female, you'll see a big change
