Even if they are family they will kill each other, and almost every other sp will too. Tarantulas are solitary animals and don't need each other, other than breeding. But even then they still try to eat each other.
Wow eh there so cold blooded kill there own family members lol don't they get lonely and want a friend lol

Just out of curiosity, where did you get this idea of communal Lasiodora from?
No I kinda knew about not putting them together but when they where spiderlings but wasn't sure if I could put them together when they got bigger and thought if from same sac they would be alright together then. Because there are other taraultas I saw together that's why I was wondering if that was possible to stick them together when full grown and I think one female and male because one is smaller than the other is way bigger and I got them same time there over a year and a half old now about 6 inches and the other 5 inches

But communals are risky due to cannibalism I think it’s something many don’t try due to the fact we are in this hobby for the love of the animals so why put them in jeopardy

Well I didn't put them in jeopardy I looked into first I would not dare do that i had them both since they where smaller than a dime I'm very impressed by there growth and they eat crickets like crazy.
