I've never noticed redfin pickerels hanging around together but I have seen
chain pickerel hanging together in groups in the wild. I have kept redfins
together in the same tank and as long as they were of similar size I never noticed
any aggression between them. As long as they had plenty of food I've kept
small ones with bigger ones with no problem.
