I deff need this tank i ordered.. My oscar pics on my arowanas which in return pick on him. My clown knife picks on my oscar when he messes with all the other fish. The dats fight with eachother and my lima just chills in the corner and waits for me to feed him lol.
Its getting a lil cramped in my 120gallon witht hese guys
2 silver arowanas 9"
clown kinfe 7"
2x widebar dats 5"
4" red oscar
6" lima.
Lol. it looks like they are playing rather than fighting though. I guess the reason they are doing this though is cuz i only have white gravel in the tank nothing else.. So no room to hide or anything..

Then why don't you do something about it now instead of waiting for a new tank and waiting for it to be cycled? Driftwood?

umm, its not like its crowded. And i have to wait a week before my tanks here. my driftwood is almost water logged, And it provides lots of places to hide due to its odd shape.
and what would u suggest me to do?

Put some driftwood in the tank. If it is close, then it will be partially sunk already.

well when you go get egg crate go get some more and put up some dividers in the tank. You can make the dividers a snug fit by putting some filter pads between them and the side of the tank.

I wouldn't put driftwood in the tank.
I had 2 dats and a clownknife in a 240.
They fought day and night over the driftwood. When I removed the wood fighting decreased.

Heh, i have so many peices that i dont think there will be fighting, but i will keep that in mind. and instead maybe get some rocks and stuff.
