A month ago I got 3 pea sized brigs, thanks Jacob. Their growth rate is of concern, 1 is a little bit bigger, 1 maybe +50% + "Tubby" is at least 3 times bigger than on arrival. OK, the smallest was on the filter intake for a couple days but is this normal to have such a big difference in growth rate?
I have been feeding daily 1 pellet, either Ken's veggie stix or earthworm, broken into 2 pieces & occaisional veggies. Today the smallest was at 1 end so I threw both pellet halves very close to him so he'd have first dibs. Tubby was at the other end of a 20g long, high on the glass. 90 minutes later & Tubby is on a pellet & the smallest is up on the glass moving away from the food. Is this a snail aggression issue or what? Should I move Tubby to another tank & see if he's faster than RCS & let the smaller snails grow? Tubby sure is getting big & pretty magenta but...:nutkick:is this trouble?
