I'm glad your having such good luck with your rfbs'. Mine have been absolute terrors. They eat all the food and chase any fish that tries to get any. Absolute tyrants in both of the tanks I have them in. Have you noticed any aggression between the two? They are only supposed to be aggressive with fish of the same or similair species, (mine try to kill everything except my 10" pleco and my 1" white clouds) They eat anything you put in the tank from my experience. I often feed the rfbs' in my 55 from my hand. I assure you that they are eating since they've lived 2 years. =) Mine go after flake and algae wafers the quickest btw.

Mine eats all the time. He's massive as well!!

He often eats algae off the glass and will eat flakes as well as bloodworm and plec tablets.
