Hey there,

I bought 2 Sens from PetSmart about 2 months ago, got a 3rd about 1 month ago. All 3 were in a 75G together with a leopard Ctenopoma, about 2" and 3 Opaline Gouramis 4". One of the Sens is growing like a weed, the other 2, I haven't noticed much growth at all. The biggest nips and chases the other 2 if they are in it's sight. I removed the smallest of the group (about 2", about the same as when I brought him home) to a 20G high by itself about 2 weeks ago. I feed NLS Thera A 1mm, along with Hikari sinking Gold. Even started giving the little guy NLS Grow. I watch after feeding and they are all eating. I do 75% water changes 2-3 times/week in the 20, about 50% weekly in the 75. The 2 little guys just don't seem to be growing. Is this normal?
 
Sens are very very slow growers so patience!
