you have two collards in one tank and ones male and ones female? if so the male could overbreed her and thats bad. if your tank is big enough you could get another female to be safe. what i would do is hold the girl and feed the boy, then put the girl back in and feed her. or seperate them.how big are they? they should be able to swallow there food almost imediatly after they catch it. if you feed them big bugs that they cant swallow easily, they will try to steal the food hangin out of the others mouth. my collard eats his food right up before my spiny can get it from him, exsept for when i feed him lizards and mice, that takes him a bit longer and i have to hold the spiny while my collard gets the big stuff down. other than my collard and spiny trying to steal from each other they live quite peacefully together. but thats because theyr the same size(about 8-9 inches). go to suncharmers.com and look at theyr care sheet, you can also email the very nice lady who seems to be running the show about this or anything else.she breeds collards and is very knowledgable. i cant spell
