I had a guppy and harlequin rasbora that used to chase and bite the convicts when they were under 2 inches. Some fish just have mean streaks. :grinno:

A lot of the smaller faster schooling fish will constantly chase. I had some longfin danios that would do nothing but torpedo about the tank playing tag 24/7.

It can be, they're bickering for leader of the pack. Just get a few more and they'll leave the Cons alone.

Indeed. I've got 6 black neons in a densely planted tank that routinely take each others fins off. :screwy:
 
yep.. just as u said i wake up to one of the tetras fins nipped at ugh.. cant we all just get along lol
 
just got back from the fishy store :) they didnt have any giant danios :( so i got three tiger barbs (getting three more soon) and two more black skirt tetras.. they are all schooling :D

Sounds good. Small groups of fish do help, just so long as the Cichlids don't eat them. I added 8 Giant Danios to my tank once and my Jag ate one within 2 minutes of it being in the tank... well a half of one lol. 3 jumped out and the other 5 were snacks. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

wow did u freak? i would have lmao.. the con is hard of seeing and the dempsey is more bothered by the con so i think (for now) they r safe :) um one question tho, if they r nipping at each other should i be worried about their fins? or are they used to it lol

that would be crazy! would they be worth anything? i had the worst time getting rid of my 50 con fry lol
 
i have the opposite problem my convict keeps producing eggs when courting my jd male and you could add some melafix for stress relief and fin protection
