Lethocerus medius

Giant water bugs just chilling after killing 10 minnows last night. that was supposed to be for all week. Guess I am going to have to keep them separated from their food.
Are they alright cohabiting in such close quarters? I've read that Lethocerus can be very cannibalistic.
 
Mine have fought but not often. They would probably cannibalize a smaller one. Mine are both well fed and similar in size.
