Senegalus is being a jerk!

[DRteugelsi]

So, I noticed anytime my teug goes near my Senegalus or vice versa he's snaps at her. The teug seems to be doing fine. They're plenty of hide but I feel like it could be a disaster waiting to happen. Should I try to move everything around in the tank?

Is this normal behavior for a Senegalus?
Are they usually d-bags?

The teug does seem to have a slight nip in it's rear fin.

Excuse my ignorance but isn't two polys a bad number of polys? Sounds like the Sen is being territorial

 

[DRteugelsi]

So are you saying I need more polys because I have no problem with that at all

 

[kewpiefishypewpie]

Let some of the experienced guys chime in first but I have heard of getting more polys to dissipate aggression like with mbuna

 

[DRteugelsi]

That makes since but If that's the case it sounds like I have a great excuse to tell my wife.

Polyaddict86 do you agree sir?

 

[Polyaddict86]

kewpiefishypewpie damn long name to type, he is right on the spot, two polys are bad number, one will become a bully especially if the other is smaller, senegal are not known to be aggressive, but depends on each individual. Even if you more the decors around polys can claime the whole tank. Best way is to have more polys.

This may well could be the best problem I've ever had. A problem that can be solved by more poly's is a problem I'll happily deal with.

Lolz, what size is your tank?

 

[DRteugelsi]

Only a 60 gallon now but the plan is to upgrade to a 300 (240 at least) by the time summer rules around. I always planned to add more poly's I just thought 2 was plenty for the 60 gallon even though they're juvies. I like to keep my tanks understocked
