L. Oncinus aggression

[jaws7777]

Just gonna keep the water as clean as possible. Anything else you guys would do ? Im really pissed about this....these two girls have pretty cool personalities amd this one seems tp have gotten the brunt of the beating



Looks worse with flash

Clean water and salt could up the temp a little if you'd like, should heal in two weeks tops

Clean water and close observation sounds sensible at this point.

Don't be angry. Our hobby is a gamble. Even keeping fish solo but much more so keeping communities. You gotta know it going in.

What did the planet catfish peeps say - is this weird for them?

 

[jaws7777]

I havent gotten much out of it. This is the only reply

I hope it works out eventually... if not you have two gorgeous females.

Agreed though i'd like to keep the male i dont have much attachment to him. I'd let him hang in the 75 for a while but im not sure if he'd try and make a snack of the H.platyrhynchos.

Think the male oncinus (5 to 6ish inches) would be ok to keep with the H.platyrhynchos (3ish very skinny inches)

I'll try and get pics later for visual reference
