They definitely have the power to do some damage.oh yeah man, have you ever seen a bowfin skull? Serious weapons!
I'm upset about how long they had been living together before this. The first two went into the comm on October 31, then the others were added on Nov. 6th and Feb. 6th. Group had been living together for months, then the biggest female gets attacked, and once she gets pulled to give her time to heal the male gets killed.Interesting. I've had two groups of babies and the first time, none survived, the second time, just recently, I started out with eight - in only a few DAYS, I was down to one - and he's happy as a clam. I'm never going to try them in a group again.
Has to be, at this point I only have females left. I originally tried to get multpiple females just because I assumed that the males would be the more aggressive ones.i think you have a mean female. one observation i have noticed isoutside of breeding the females are the most agressive. i noticed this in my tanks and of all the bowfin i have caught the females out number the males and when i "spot and stalk" a fin i can always get a female to bite what ever i throw at it. the males tend to swim away or ignore it.

Thank you very much. He is happy and devouring shrimp.I had 2 until they were around 6 or so inches. One grew a little bit bigger and they took sides on either side of my 150g. Every once an awhile one would wonder over to pick a fight and they would attack and then head back to their side.
One is now gone . (sold )
