Sold my 12" Silver Dat yesterday-I'm slowly thinning the tank down and started with the Silver. The 2 NTT's have been much more active today as a result. I also added some fine gravel (tank was BBbefore).

Interesting as I never noticed the Silver bullying them but he was slightly bigger than the largest NTT (11"). I'll be interested to see if the NTT now get a growth spurt-the Silver did use to eat alot of food and was aggressive at feeding times. I wonder too if the smaller Indo's will also grow quicker.

Hi Steve,
The bigger one (11") is always out but was very stable today. He was never dark in the past but his bars would fade sometimes but now they're solid. The smaller one was shy but at today has been following the bigger one everywhere.
Am going to feed them Massivore a bit more often now-the Silver used to eat nearly all of it-and this should see some increased growth. I've also started feeding my fish Tilapia fillets and the Thinbars took well to this.
 
What's the aggression like usually btwn just two NTTs? I know you have more than 2 dats but I was just wondering. Was thinking of getting another or two NTT's to join my 10" one

The two of mine get along fine-but I could just be lucky mind
