Yeah I've already made arrangements for 1 of them this week.You dont have to worry about teeth so much at this stage, but if you cant use a quality pellet then you're defeating the purpose of getting one pellet trained. Youd be much better served imo crushing small snails, using nightcrawlers, & soaking seafood medley in vitachem.
If you value both I'd separate sooner than later. Your talking about fish that slide through flesh like butter. If they start going after one another they're going to inflict serious damage. I'd keep the most unique one. Either one will be super personable with some size and it would be better if it wasnt scarred up. Just my 2c
Heres some quick info on beaks

The pellets will be baby steps. I just want them to recognize pellets as food. I have some northfin and spectrum but it won't eat those yet. I'm feeding daily right now. They also get spirulina brine shrimp,black worms, a little frozen blood worms, baby snails which I do crush. The one will and can eat super small ones the other that eats the pellets won't even try without crushing. My crayfish haven't produced babies in a little while if I had babies I'd feed those too. I've split off a male and a couple females into sperate tanks to hopefully spark some breeding again.
These guys are really small not sure if you can tell they are about an inch long tops. And they have almost doubled size since I got them. I have tons of baby snails so I was hoping they would eat more snails. It seemed they were having trouble with them the first day or so which is when I read that article saying the don't form beaks until later in development. So made sense why they didn't just crush the snails up.
