I brought a 12-14 inch asian aro-not a jardini- as a center peice for my large tank but he beat everthing up. His in his own tank now. Today he hurt him-superficially- self trying to get at a dovii in the next tank. I am going to put a peice of foam so he can't see the dovii. Also he tried to attack my hand when I was cleaning the tank, even my jardini which I had a few years back didn't do that. The jardini actually used to hate every living creature , plecs included, but used let me pat his head.

I would dearly love put him back in my large tank and have him to have him as my centre peice in my large tank living with frontosa, baynooks, large silver sharks ect. Got any ideas or is he beyond redemption.

Was adviced to bar him off in my large tank so he can get used to the other fishes might try it in a few weeks .If I knew asians might be so agressive I would instead got a jardini which cost far less.
 
what asian did you get. Never seen one like that yet.

rtg . The only good thing about him is that his colours are fantastic.
Probably just that individual fish. Ive never seen RTGs being agressive, only had agression with greens. You could always try what the other guy suggest and divide the main tank and let your RTG get used to its tankmates first, but IMO that doesnt work.
 
iv never witness a green being aggressive but iv heard many people saying that they are agressive including my uncle lol
