Nice fella, they have got a slopey head which is an indication of species.

hi everyone ... just thought seeing as its been near a month since the purchase i would post some update shots. the first one you can clearly see is dominant in the tank as hes grown about an inch or so bigger than the other. should see him put on some good size throughout the winter. thanks everyone for your comments.

i have a question. im going to be re-aquascaping the tank their in, possibly try growing a bunch of walmart plants and im wondering if i should move the smaller one to its own tank to grow out a bit, will moving the smaller one affect the good growth rate of the larger one. the ruling order in the tank now is the large chocolate dominates the small choc. and the young pink convict male. the small chocolate stays to himself, the convict keeps the tiger barbs in line and the gold tiger barb rules over the two striped ones since the green barb passed away. just thought id share. there hasnt been any real violence to the small one everyones great at feeding times. but often if the other one comes out specially if im near the tank the large one will chase him back to the rocks. opinions?
