 Just a couple of questions

Hi there all! I am usually on the water dragon board, but I picked up a gorgeous little group of cresties. I was told that it was two females and one male, but when I went to pick them up, it was actually two males! One of the males, the older one, about 1 1/2 years, is really tiny, and i really don’t think he was fed properly. He is a lot smaller than the 6 month old male. Do you guys know of anyway of bulking him up a bit? He is eating fairly regular for me, every other day about, about 1/8 tsp. dry diet. (but of course mixed with water... so don’t think im giving him dry powder.. ha)
Also, do you guys think I should keep them all together? I know that males can get violent with each other, hence my concern...I have a 40 gallon with tons of vegetation and vines. So what do you guys think?

it being 1 1/2 hes not gonna be getting much bigger than he already is he may plump up a bit but thats it.

i personally would seperate them just to make sure that the small one is getting enough of what he needs. you can try crickets or mealies to help put some weight on him but thats really all you can do
