HEy,
*** kept thes fish for almost 2 years, and everything was going fine, im moving house in 4 months time where i will have a 8 foot, by 2, by 2 tnak to transfer this tank into.
anyway in the last few weeks things got crazy, fights were breaking out, my Male venustus Killed the same sized female venustus, my flameback (i think) killed each other till the population was down to only two (one missing an eye) *** seperated them now to
my Zebra ((i think thats what he is, the big blue one with the strips) started attacking the toher two, *** seperated the bigger one out (took ages to catch) so now *** got one large one small, and it seems ot be settling.
the big zebra seems to want tot have all the hidy holes / caves to himself, and he goes around non stop all day moving everyone out of them, constantly he attacks the clown loaches to get them out of the holes.
Is it becuase they have reached maturity? or is my 4 foot, by 2. by 2 tank too small for them?
my population in tank has dropped from 28 too 12 :S and im concerned as aggression hasnt gone
basically is there anything i can do? i re arranged the tank to make more hidy holes but it made things worse, i then re arranged to make less holes and its still the same
any help or suggestions would be great
Thanks in advance
