WOW, good luck at school. Right now i have 3 beardies, 2 female and i male. The male has his own tank for obvious reasons plus he's only 2 months, but i doubt he ever will share a tank with my females outside breeding season.
My oldest female is Feng (4 months and 11inches) and the new female is Tak (3 1/2 months and 9 inches) they are not living together yet because i am quarenteing them, but i hope to eventually get them to live together. They have met on 'neutral ground' and neither has bobbed or seemed dominated or stressed. They can see each other from their tanks and i hope to have them at peace in a couple months. Many breeders keep their femalees in colonies.
The key in having a working colony, is enough space for each beardie, enough food, and enough basking spots so everyone grows. The most dominant will take the higher basking spot, but you have to make sure that the others can bask too. My driftwood is also set up so the dragons can hide or dig or bask, but not neccesarily have the others stressing him/her.
Hope that helps!
