May not be what your lookin for but seperate them definatley the bitter from the others but the only way to stop for sure is to seperate the babies

Thanks,but it is always the case that the bitter got off 'scottfree'.Have never been able to catch the bitter red-handed.Is there any other ways cos keeping them individually will require alot of space.

probly going to be the one that acts like he owns the place normally the first to eat and the biggest, but not always try to seperate the dominate one in the cage and see if that helps. scott

More food.... feed the babies as much as possible, at least 2-3 time daily.
