Hi
I started with 1-1/2 to 2'' about 11 months ago. Purchased from 2 different breeders.
Fed them mostly frozen black worms and beefheart. In one tank some grew better then doulbe in size 4 to 4-1/2, while a few just grew about a 1/2'' more. The other tank all except for 2 grew to 3''. They all seem happy. :)
My question is that for the slower growers, would they still grow? They are all the same age. Shuold have I done something different when others have hogged the food? I just started feeding them pelets and flakes are next. Should I move them to size order? I dont have enough tanks to have small med and large fish. But if that will make a difference now maybe I can do it.
Second question about the fighting that goes on, any suggestions? They seem to pick on each other. :-\ They look mean to each other >:( What can be done about this?
Thanks Jim
