The situation given contradicts Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two species competing for the exact same resources cannot stably coexist - one will outcompete the other. If both herbivorous fish species are surviving together in the aquarium, here are two valid reasons

  1. Resource partitioning- They use different types or layers of phytoplankton, reducing direct competition.
  2. Different ecological niches- They have different feeding habits or behaviors, so they don't fully compete.
