All of my bass!

[krichardson]

The aggression seems to have come in stages of growth had one intermedia that was extremely aggressive at on point territorial over the right side air bubbles especially to the pair of brokos I had in the tank at the time lost one of them I believe to the fighting /chasing separated remaining Broko and reintroduced now the Broko is the most aggressive bass at the moment stakes claim to left side of the tank chases all other fish away except Intermedia. All others flare and charge each other some allow themselves to be pushed but don’t run so not bad.

The Intermedia are still the most dominant Cichla in the tank hands down, there is very small damage that occurs to the Cichla over all just normal Cichlid behavior. Dithers and catfish get banged up but that’s what they are there for one wide bar lost an eye he has learned and is very smart now and the vulture cat get his whiskers eaten especially during water changes but they always grow back. It's really not bad considering smallest bass is 12” largest is close to 18” + eyeballing and these are the worst case scenarios I’ve had.

Interesting,I have a group of kelberi,three spiders and one Rio Dolce.The spiders were bought as a trio and were raised together from three inches.They are now about ten inches and the biggest one seems to bully the other spiders.It does not bother the Rio Dolce or the orino but that is probably because they are both at the twelve inch mark.

There is aggression but light.. I t seems I have to pairs . I vent checked them . the males push each other and gill a and fin flair but not really any hard fighting. The pairs are always showing off to each other. But they all come together in a school most of the time.

Tony,
Maybe you mentioned this already (just reading last few posts) but how big are the 4 bass and how big is this tank?
