Quick back story: I tried to keep 3 males in my tank, Cacatouides, Hongsloi and Agasizzii
The Hongsloi was dominant and I now have a Male on it's own.
I added a female which was the same size as the male. The female surpassed the male in size very quickly, now it seems the male is not eating very well, he has a sunken stomach and I can't see him eating anything.
I have fed various things: Tetra Prima, New Life and frozen Daphnia etc.
He just really timid and out-competed by everything, however he was top Dog in the tank for a while and was accepting all these foods before.
Just wondering how I can get the little guy to eat, and if it was anything to do with the Female?
The female has made a cave and goes in and out all the time. She often badgers the male but to a certain extent. (No real aggression there.)
Any ideas?
