    Default Behavior?

    Something has been going on for awhile now in my tank. I have one fish, he happens to be
    the smallest hanging around in one corner all the time. He just sits there. And the other
    three meander about in the other corner. At feeding time the one only can eat what is
    nearest to him, because if he goes to other side to try and eat he is chased off. How can I
    get him to feel comfortable with the others and be part of the group. Maybe I need to change
    the driftwood. Maybe I need to altar the diet. Or is this just pecking order uninterrupted.

    add more more fish. they are more secure in groups of 5-6 minimum.. and/or he is the lowest man on totem pole.. so he knows his place..

    Yeah Thanks,

    From what I have read here, Heckels prefer more crowded groups.
    I want to get some more, but I have wait a couple months.
