I started with a trio of three small female Bartletts from Divers Den. They came in very healthy and eating pellets on day one. After QT they went into a 125 gallon. For the first six months they swam in a group. As they got older their differences in growth became obvious. One stayed small while the other two were getting larger and transitioning into males. These two males would chase each other all day and in their spare time they would be chase the smaller female. Eventually the smaller male disappeared. Now the remaining pair are never far apart. When pressure from the male gets to be too much, the female will hide in the rock work for awhile. Almost every night the pair take claim to the center of the tank and spawn. When you see how the males never stop, you understand why they need to be fed so often. I feed my tank four X a day.
