Few pics of the new additions, and a few questions....
This is Moomin. He/she is the biggest and greediest. He is also the sweetest and friendliest.
This is their tank....
This is Fraggle....
Now to the questions.....
Moomin is much younger than Fraggle but also way larger. In length they're roughly the same, but Fraggle is much more delicate. Her face and whole 'shape' is smaller. I thought that I might have to separate them at first but neither has shown any sign of aggression and they seem fine together. My question is this. Is she likely to catch Moomin up? She was hatched in Dec whereas Moomin was hatched in April. Is she just so small because she didn't get enough to eat? She doesn't really seem skinny, just little. Or is she a dwarf axy? If there is such a thing???
Also I'm not sure how clear it is in the photo but she sits in the most odd position. Kind of resting on her belly with her back feet wafting around in the water. And occasionally she chases her tail (I've read that this can be caused by parasites but I can't see any sign.) I do adore her, she's a funny little thing but dare I ask? Is it possible that in addition to being a dwarf she's also a little retarded???
Thanks
