the small one will grow fast as long as you leave it. If your main tank can handle it, I'd leave it in there. Give it 3 weeks or so. You should see it start to gain size pretty quickly. If you have a separate tank for them, divide it and put both fish in. Leave them like that for a while. I left my female and male for a month, wasn't good enough. I just need to be patient. You'll see them start to clear around if you indeed have a male and female. If they do start clearing, leave divider up for a bit. I like to build their bonds in a big community tank. Seems to work better.Not great had to separate the next day. I've got them in seperation tanks now. That was 2 weeks ago and the smaller one is growing pretty fast without the other.
keep us updated.
