	Why can multiple RTBS survive together in one tank @Store?

A, there are lots of them; this makes it difficult or impossible to claim territory, especially in a fairly empty tank like LFS tanks generally are. It also makes it difficult or impossible for a single fish to be harassed much, because there's always another one getting in the way. The numbers factor is why it's quite possible to keep a large group of RTBS in a large tank. B, and perhaps more importantly, because they're juveniles. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com!
