He is definitely the runt of the group, always gets picked on and gets nipped. He is also the last to lose his dots but he isn't the smallest. Is his darker coloration normal?
I'm gunna get my girlfriends or my roomates girlfriends digital camera and get a pic for y'all to see if its that bad, the p just got a nasty bite on his tailfin that took off about half of it.
I have no deco, I took it all out. But it seems as if the little asshole starts the fights and the other three just put him in check by chasing them away and in the meantime nipping him, you'll be able to see better with a pic I think he's ok though.
it seem like he is just stressed out, and is trying to fit in and not get killed. P's tend to change colors depending on the mood they are in. I would keep a close eye on him and seperate him if needed.
