Good morning!
This morning when feeding the 4 maps in the living room aquarium one of them (A) clamped down on the front hand of another (B). It seemed accidental since they were both going for the same food pellet, but A refused to let go. I picked them both up out of the water being careful not to pull them apart since B's finger was still stuck in A's mouth. After a minute or so of trying to get A to let go I dropped them back in water from ~1/2" above the surface and the small shock seemed to make A let go. I watched B swim around for a bit and they don't seem to be favoring one hand over the other or having any trouble swimming so I don't think any damage was done.
Any thoughts on how to keep that from happening in the future? Should I try to separate them more for feeding?
Thanks!
Will
