I have noticed in this past week nemo(the smallest yellow belly who is just over an inch),wont feed with turbo(who is now just over 2 inches) and is very reluctant to be handled..Nemo has always been the one who loved to be handled but now its the opposite(turbo wants to be handled now)..also I cant feed them together as turbo eats all the food...I have been feeding them both in a litter tray with water in and they were fine..but now every time nemo comes out of the tank,it just wants to go back in..once i place food in the tank without turbo its fine..Do they bully each other or is there something wrong..thanks...Mark

We have two ybs of simular sizes, we feed them in the tank, but at opposite ends, or Jay Jay (the bigger one) will scoff all of the food.

Theres no problem feeding them in the tank if you have a good filter.

There's nothing unusual about the bigger more active turts getting most of the food, and yes sometimes one turt will become more dominant over another, they often establish a pecking order. Sometimes it's a territorial thing and is associated with overcrowded conditions, too many turts all wanting their own bit of space.
