i bought 2 delhezis at my local petstore when i first got them they where onlyabout 1.5inch each they are both in a 350L tank all to them self but its been 1month now one of the dels already grow to 3inch while they other one still look 1.5inch and yet the smaller ones much more aggrassive this i realy dont understand im worryed the bigger one will outgrow him really fast then eat the smaller one
 
Get a divider to keep them apart until the other one catches up. Can't say why one would outgrow the other. Do you watch them eat? Do they eat the same? The divider will also allow you to make sure the bigger one isnt stealing all the food.
 
hello yes i watch them eat all the time they are not shy at all they both eat the same amount cause i hand feed them thats why i just dont understand why the otherone would grow so fast
 
Well all other things being equal consider genetics
 
If they're eating the same and other one continues to grow much slower you might medicate for parrasites.
