Can BP's suffer from lonliness?

Fri, 03/05/2010 - 23:52 — we4wieners

I am working on my DIY background in my 60g tank...will post pics w/ progress. I have a problem....3-BP's......2 of them have decided that they have alot in common and have spent every minute together over the last week. The 3rd BP is a bit smaller, yet very healthy and probably the best eater in the tank, but he is always alone. He swims alone all day long while the others play reindeer games together. He has gotta feel awful, especially knowing that we see him being outcasted. He's got a pretty cool attitude and an even better smile. Is there zoloft or zanax fro BP's?  I guess my real question is...does he need a buddy of the same size and not as big as the other two?

i wouldnt think so. plenty of people have only 1 bp and they r perfectly happy! if he seems fine and is eating and swimming and not getting bullied then he probably is fine. i think we worry about these things more than they do :)
