Bristlenose Females

[fee de mer]

I have always had one female bristlenose in my tank and have recently inherited another female who is quite a bit larger. The larger one will scare the other off if she wants to feed where the smaller one is. Should I be concerned about this?

hi have you tried feeding at different locations "spot feed"? so one can eat there and the other can eat here also this is a territorial thing its normal

Yes I have, its not like the smaller doesn't eat, she does but maybe not where she originally wanted to!

yeh its normal it happens to all my female finds a spot to eat her algae wafer ( so where it lands) and my biggest male will come along and eat her wafer but she ll go find another so its completely normal :
