What size tank is that? They grow to 4 ft in length so be prepared to move them else where. Also can be somewhat aggressive toward future additions especially as they grow.

At that size they need to eat all the time, their metabolism is so fast. If they get enough food they grow extremely fast.

I would probably remove them....especially in a 40 gallon tank. Like everyone else stated, they get huge, grow quick, and become aggressive.
