So I posted a thread a couple days ago about my baby dying on new years. So I picked up a new Mono who was smaller and was worried about him being beatin up. But it seems like its the total opposite. He has been chasing, biting, and smashing into the side of my bigger bass, who I care so much more about. Im just wondering how the hell this is happening. The bigger bass can kick his ass no problem so I guess hes just being a puss.
The new bass has been eating like crazy, so much more social, and very chill so far. Hes always at the front of the tank begging, even when his belly is so full I think hes gonna puke. He eats so much more than any other fish, I dont know if thats another way of showing dominance, but he does not like sharing let me tell you. Hes only 4" and shoved 4 feeder goldfish in his mouth, I got pictures it was so crazy.
Just today he has been a devil. Even this morning he was being cool, but now hes bashing the other fish. Hes even pecked at my catfish who can almost swallow him. The bass usually swim together all day and follow eachother every where. Now the bigger bass wants nothing to do with him, but he keeps following and abusing him.
Sorry for the long story but I had to rant for a little bit. Any advice would be great.

PS. I have been feeding them alot less to try and pellet train them, might be a factor.
