I watched my male festae push the butti around a little bit a day or two ago. I hope the butti learns to be lower on the hierarchy soon. That would be nice. Lol

Get a tank ready for that guy once he gets around 7 inches or so then don't like to share their tank.

If the festae pair off, my money is on them killing everything in the future. Either way I'm guessing that unless you make some major changes in your 180 a whole lot of carnage is going to take place down the road.

I still think it depends on the fish. My butti is about two years old and has always had tank mates. He lives w three jewels and a striped raph at the moment. Two jewels are a pair. They actually run the tank. Whenever they spawn the butti can't leave the corner!

Update!! Butters is growing very well and fast. Colors are looking great. Attitude isn't bad at all yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed while I watch him grow.

Lookin good! Do you notice his stripes become more bold at times? Mine changed color incredibly well but I know that happens more as they age. So cute still, enjoy it

Yeah I've noticed mine getting darker/bolder at different times of day and moods.

My little one has tripled in size since I picked him up. Such a fast grower. It's unreal!
