dirrerent temperaments in different tanks

[Liz_Streithorst]

Now this is weird. I have 2 planted tanks, a 100 and a 125. The fish in the 100 are kind of lazy and don't eat anything but CBW's. They spawn regularly though. In the 125 the fish are always activly swimming around and attack and eat anything that drops in the tank. They are younger and they are just now starting to show breding behavior. I have moved a couple of fish from the 100 to the 125 and they become more active and better eaters. What's up here. Water parameters are identical. I change 50% daily on both tanks.

Liz...they go with the flow. and the young ones are more active i guess..
its like taking a seemingly quiet child and adding him to a room full of wired kids. hes gonna pick up on that behaviour and figure this is the theme of that room?
maybe the others have just gotten into a comfortable groove. :

Thanks April, that makes me feel better. I had been wondering if there might be something wrong with the guys in the 100 gallon. I even gave them a non-productive prazi treatment : Guell I'll start calling one tank the calm room and the other the play room :P
