I keep siblings (same clutch) together (females) until they go to new homes usually.
I never separate otherwise, never ātouch woodā had any bullying there.
And also go by size when you do this, So females the same size put together. If youāre doing trios, choose the females that are all roughly similar in size. Though Iāve never had issues putting in a 15g with 50g females before! (But only do that when you know what theyāre like, my females are all very chilled out and accepting usually)

Firstly you need plenty of hiding spaces at different levels also and a few feeding areas away from each other, you can remove some once you know which ones are used and which are not.
Iād suggest to sex them before trying to mix them. Iāve found males tend to be aggressive before they show a bulge. I supposedly bought 3 females & 1 male but turned out to be 3 males & 1 female, they were tiny bit I seperated them when I saw bullying (which then made me think the sexes were wrong)
Gingerbread Latte hated being with another gecko and showed clear stress and bullying. I removed her within 15 minutes but Kona & Strawberry get on well. Vanilla & Caramel have been together since little as Vanilla stressed when I seperated them.
I agree keep to similar size Geckos when putting them together. Iād suggest not adding more later as they could be territorial, but I havenāt seen this with my Geckos.
I plan to keep clutch mates together till I sort out holdbacks (this will be done early) I w plan separate males once pores are visible.
I will probably have lots of holdbacks to start with lol
What are you going to do with this years eggs?
Shocked youāve found males more aggressive. Iāve never had any aggression from any of these other than Raspberry hating my guts 
Clutch mates for me hatch and then get cleaned off and go straight into their bio set up.
The male extreme I have was with his brother even when I saw pores as they got on, but wasnāt long until the tri went to a new home anyway.
Kaneki was with his brother until around 11g too.
I donāt advise this though, I know these guys and knew the babies were ok or I wouldnāt of left them too it! No bulges either so that may of been why they got on 
Also looks like I have a male and a female from a clutch who are together atm. And a tangerine I may of seen pores on, havenāt checked the other. So I will be sexing them all again on the weekend with the new louper thatās coming to see whatās happening. Though as small atm I know theyāre ok to stay together. Or Iāll move the females into another enclosure together and the boys can have their own

Guys. This is so helpful!
So unfortunately, I donāt know who was in what clutch, as they were all mixed together before I got the boxes going for incubation. I know Hershey and Chalupa were a clutch, but Hershey also gets on well with Fudge. Thatās going to be tricky, and probably why I had to separate them so early on.
There will be no mixing until they are all sexed! I might try to loupe sexā¦I just forsee that to be super difficult.
Yes to the different levels of hides! I want to make little cubbies with cork they can hang in! The girls have a bunch in theirsā, and it works really well!
As for eggs, weāve only had duds so farā¦but Dahlia was buried a few days ago, so weāll see if sheās laid or was just bored. We will likely keep any hatchlings as well as weāre to keep any Kain babies. So we have room for one more Songmic box until we have to build a new shelf.

They were fine at the beginning (3/4g), it was only as they were getting older that I found they were getting aggressive.
They werenāt aggressive like fighting, but I saw aggressive patterns forming.
I watched them intently lol

Cubbies sound cool. I like to use coconuts as hides.
It doesnāt matter if they arenāt in the right pairs, just makes it easier to tell age and parents.
Here is an unfired pic of Kona to show her chunkiness, unlike her last pic

Seriously. If I wake up during the night, Iām over to check on them!
@ghoulishcresties Yay new phones! Mine got an upgrade, too!
@foxreptile The coconuts have gotten moldy, even the ones made for reptiles as hides. Which is frustrating because I adore them! If you have any tricksā¦I know the dogs love coconut so Iād love to be able to save some!

Gives you plenty of time to decide if a Crestie is for you and if so, what morph you would like
