thanks. the non pearly female is 1.5 inches bigger than the male and very mean. i need to wait until he grows some more so she doesn't kill him.
he was in with the pearly female, they are siblings, but, she was kicking his butt and had him totally stressed. he is just starting to get some color back and i don't feed gsumo or chingmix yet. i want to try gsumo red to see if that helps him color up faster.
right now he is paired with my bp. i think he is too small to breed 3" so it will be a while.
