Hi,
I have questions about the fishies eating habits.
I've just finished my cycle and received a guppy and a diamond tetra as an "opening present". After reading in these boards (and getting some info at lfs)than tetras can feel lonely if not kept ina a group I added two more to keep him company and they seemed to cheer him up a bit.
The thing is that now, after 3 days, I've noticed than one of the "new" tetras and the guppy go for the flakes voraciously as soon as they hit the water, while the other two stay shyly swiming and only pick the some of the few pieces of flakes that go to the bottom.
Is there something I should do to get the food a little bit more evenly distributed? Should I even DO anything at all, or is it better to leave things as they are?
Tonight I even noticed that my "munching" tetra has a bigger belly than the other two!
