Dominating female :p

Hey all shifus, my pair of MM hor, the female very dominating leh... shes bigger 12-13"+... my guy is only about 11"+-... or around there.. but definately smaller then the girl...

now the problem, when i feed them MP/feeder treats, the guy is like sissy, fine-dining... eat slowly slowly abit abit..
the girl eats like a pig, sometimes even steal the guy's food... like really snatch it out of his mouth...
even when i use a long tong to feed the male ah, the female still come steal...
now i worry that the guy is not eating enff... but hes still fat thou..

any suggestions on how to let the guy be a *man*... lol.. damn sissy.. let the girl bully only...

they haven mated yet thou the claspers r developing...
they are not fighting thou, just more like an old couple and the guy gives his food to the girl... lolz.. lazy fight liddat...

hmm...then keep on feeding her with the whole uncut MP...and let the male have time to eat his food loh...

Hi any bro can advice.
I have 2 x Q2 rays, female and male, when i brought time both are same size, now female are bigger than male, (May be same as some bro mention above). and also female are more active then male. When I feed them the female are fast eat. how should I do? and also can train sinking pellets? if can, what brand should be buy?.. thanks

I have same prob with a male who eat lesser and a female who eat like pig and grown alot bigger. I do this and it work for me. I suggest cutting even smaller than wat u cut now for the male. Let the male be able to swallow whole without chewing. Let the female eat the same small small size mp like the male. Smaller cut ones means more pieces and female have to spend time run around tank to find food, increasing her eating time. I suspect ur female swallow whole, Tate why ur whole mp will not slow her down. In addition, need to build up smaller ray appetite with more meals, at least twice a day or more. Same thing; cut till super small for him to swallow. With tat he shld be able to grow his size and appetite soon.

This is what i did too. Very useful method... Cut till the size is able to feed in the mouth nicely, it MAY work on ur rays...
