So, out of curiosity, I measured my biggest and smallest fish today after having them three weeks. The biggest was rubbing 3.5” and the smallest was a hair under 3”. The smallest one isn’t as aggressive during feeding, but does eat, and is more shy than the other 5 fish. Is this typical behavior out of one fish out of a bunch? I’m already not counting on her being my biggest, but can this fish still grow to a relatively full size even though she doesn’t eat enough to appear to have a full, fat belly?
