Yes most of the time, There will be one dominant one than you will have the pecking order. Look on you tube for plecos fight, you will see different types plecos fight
It’s way more interesting than most fish fight .

Sorry, have been out of town and didn't have a chance to reply earlier.
Still haven't seen the Jamanxim eat but it looks OK, eyes and belly don't appear sunken.
Not planning on treating at this point, going to give it a bit more time.

I think the Jamanxim is fine.
They're still to skittish to let me take pictures of them but put some skewers of zucchini and sweet potato in tonight and the new royals were are all over them.

I would love to feed mine all sort of potatoes ,carrot and other vegetables but it messy going in and coming out.

I agree, they are too messy. I made the mistake of giving them butternut squash, I had to clean all filter, they get very clogged and water gets cloudy.

I tried carrots and ended up with orange confetti in the tank

I just want to share two of my royals I was able to catch while doing a water change. This is just to ads more to your confusion about royals lol

Are they both big Jamanxim?
