Juvie Aggression Question

[fishykisses]

So my big males are flaring all over the place now and starting to do some darting at others...i'm going away on the 24th for 17 days and i'd rather keep them in the 55 which only have 40ish juvies in there...do you think i need to jar the 3 that are starting to get a little pushy?
I'll do what i have to do and have some people that will be taking over the fishie duties while i'm away - but it'll be much easier if they're all together.
They will be 9 weeks old on the 17 so they'll be 10 weeks exactly on the 24th.

Might as well jar them. But,on the other hand, after they're out of the tank some others will step up a notch in the aggressive department. So, maybe leave them. How naughty are they being? Any ripped fins?
Will someone be around to do jars (every day or every other day?)

Well....i layed on the floor for literally an hour trying to size these little buggers up. So there was one big guy that had a little nip in the fins so - i ended up jarring 5!
I think all will be better off and now the coppers 2 weeks younger that are also in the 55 won't be in danger and will grow up bigger. There are a few really runty coppers - hopefully their growth will increase faster. 2 people in the house are gonna do water changes and feedings while i'm gone. I already have a dry erase board that i use to keep things straight for me, so i'll set up a step by step chart for them. Thank GOD it's only 5 and not 50 while i'm gone!!! That's the Last time i'm going away while i have babies....if i didn't have to go i wouldn't!
Thanks wuv! Let me know when the package comes...k?!
