So in the last few days it looks like these guys have started to get a little feisty.
I recently went out out town for two days (fed them really well before hand) and when I came home I found what was left of a platy... not sure if they killed it or maybe it died and then they picked at it, but last just say they basically devoured 75% of the body.
Thought this was weird because they only went about 24 hours without food if that. Also I have not seen any chasing, lip locking or any torn fins on anyone.
Today however I did notice some chasing among the salvinis and noticed that the 2 smaller ones appear to have a hot spot above their mouth (maybe from fighting?). The bigger one is completely untouched.
Aside from this there are no torn fins or missing scales.
How would you guys approach this?
I'd like to get at least a pair out of these 3 but I dont know if I should separate this early. I did not think they could so that much damage at this stage being so small.
I guess I can observe for now unless things get worse. Or I can try to put some in the 125g. My fear with that is that I think they are much too small still and might get eaten by the oscar.
