Girlfriend sent me this...Pretty Funny

Hmm, I thought that was the whole point for people keeping aggressive fish was getting off watching them constantly fight and bicker. Not a fan of this myself but it seems to be a popular stance around here.

Nah, I personally do not "discipline" my fish. My post was just for humor. I feel they are programmed to do what they do, so you can't really alter that.

That is funny but time outs can work well on cichlids. Did it with an overly aggressive peacock.= it disrupts the pecking order and the new "boss" wasn't as dominating.

A plastic bag for time out is ok, but kinda soft. I would use a blender as a time to really get the message across

Or stick the bag in the freezer for a few.

I think it can work in resetting a dominant fish as previously mentioned. That and rearranging the aquascape help. Just thought the pic of the fish in the bag with the words "Time Out" was pretty funny.

LOL I used to put the mean one in a bare tank for a couple of days. Now I just give them away.

I usually just let them be...a fish is a fish right

I used to lock my bumble bee cichlid in a giant pickle jar in the tank whenever he would beat on everyone to hard.... he was a real bastard...

Funny? Yes Cute? Yes. But seriously, why punish a fish for something you the fish-keeper have done? Moreover, as stated above, fish don't know right from wrong. They are instinct-driven biological machines. The keeper is responsible for everything "bad" that happens in their "artificially created mini underwater world".
