Couple of things...

Firstly, I have 3 botia striata and 2 have grown considerably and are prob about 6cm now. the third is probably only about 4.5cm and they were all purchased at the same time.

The small one does eat as I've seen him/her. Is it a problem that he's staying small?

Secondly, the small one and one of the larger ones were eating last night but inbetween a quick nibble they would do some kind of swimming dance. It's difficult to explain in words. Basically they'd swim towards eachother and almost flick against one anothers body's as they go past (but not actually touching I dont think). They did this for about 5 minutes until the larger one eventually chased off the smaller one. Anyone know what this means?
