hey.
right now i have three red turqs in my tank. the two larger ones (2.5-3inches) are leopards and there's another that's a ss and he's only 1.5 inches. i've noticed he'll come out and eat with the other fish but really isn't growing as fast. i'm debating between getting another 3 incher that's really beautiful, or a couple of 1.5-2 inchers that will probably turn out to be nice fish.
the reason i'm really thinking this one over is because i figure if there are some other fish in the tank that are the same size as the smaller guy then he'll feel more confident. BUT, here's what they look like. they're light yellow with blue flecks on their fins and some very light peppering. will the yellow darken up? they are small fish in a tank with 4 inchers and they spend most of their time in hiding. it's possible that they're really very nice fish and the peppering will go away when they're in a better environment. the bigger fish i would like is a really nice blue diamond with great colouring that's 3 inches.
what do you guys think?
