Food Aggression

[privet01]

FBT's (IMO) like being in groups. The status posturing is normal and they do it in nature.......... Mine are both males and have done it for well over two years. When I first added the new fbt to the tank, it seemed like every fifteen minutes they were going at it. And this didn't let up for months. Now there are days I don't notice it occurring, but sometimes there are periods when it seems to peak again.

As for feeding, my personal opinion is that it stresses them more when you handle them. I just put the crickets in the tank and let them get them on their own. Nor do they need to be fed every day. I feed mine three times a week roughly. Almost always dusted crickets.

Okay, that makes me feel better about the situation. I'll just leave them be then (:

You could try feeding them separately if peach starts to look skinny.

We have 12 in a planted viv. Almost 3 years strong... They will fight from time to time... perhaps you need to up your feeding pattern... bombers dont really like being touched, and its not really recommended either.
Yes, they are right about social structure, or pecking order. So after a little while mario should calm down.

Also, males have a courser texture to their skin than females.
