They are beautiful, and they all school together?

thanks for the comment. yes the fish all get along nicely and spend most of the day together.
only issues are 1) at night the three biggest males (i.e. except the praecox) fight for dominance. m lacustris male is the dominant at the moment. 2) in the morning, the males fight each oher while trying to spawn with their females.

all in all, i think they like each other just finethumbs2:
