Started with (15) 1 in. fronts (technically Gibberosa Kitumba) in a 90 gallon. They ate like crazy since day 2 or 3 after acclimating.
Upgraded to a 210g two weeks ago now that they are coming up on 3-4 inches. Same sand (plus some), same rocks, added a second FX6 and a wave maker, same temp, same water parameters. Added a 3.5 inch Yellow Calvus. Going to pull some Front males out as they get bigger to reduce the size of the group.
Half of them now eat pellets kind of lazily, the other half don't care or mouth the food and spit them out. They all look and are acting healthy. Don't appear to be stressed. Colors and stripes look nice.
When I feed frozen krill etc they eat a little more actively but not like they did in the old tank. Could be just finicky fronts still settling in? Maybe the Calvus killed their vibe - but i've never seen any aggression between them. Also possible I spoiled them with Krill and they don't want pellets, but I used to feed krill in the old tank as well and it was never a problem.
Thanks for any input.
