    Default Quarantine opinions?

However, I would love my guys to have more space, so would it be ok to move each pair into a 10 gallon tank at this point?

    Absolutely. It's never an issue giving a larger species more room. Better to have more room than not enough.

    Good. Another reason I want to give them more space, even though they are still small is, as outlandish as it sounds I remember reading a post around here somewhere (I think it was FF anyway) about some guy who claimed he could "naturally dwarf" species by raising them from babies in smaller enclosures. I think that's malarky myself (not to mention cruel) but I've been wondering why my guys aren't growing bigger faster... granted it's been 2 months, and it could very well be because of the cocci issue, but I expected them to outgrow the 5.5 gallon QT tanks by now and they haven't...

    Oh well, regardless it will be great to be able to give them more room, not to mention their new coconut huts, lol!
