I have fish that range from 4-6.5” with no problems, however they are in a 245 gal display with enough driftwood to help minimize any chasing. Mostly just pushing a shoving from pairing. Currently have 16 fish which I think will be my limit.

i have a 60 gallon with 6 discus in it ranging from 3-5.5" with a nice amount of driftwood and rocks and they fight a little but nothing ever besides a peck and a peck there.
