yeah...his name is "balls'...no joke...he is the only surviving bolivian from a group of 5 adult O's ...the other 4 were taken out in a matter of 10minutes
I figured due to the size of that tank they would have plenty of room to run if the orinos turned it up on them...but was wrong. "Balls" is my boy...tough as nails and the only oscar they will let in that 6x4x3 tank..he takes no gruff and bites and confronts before the orinos have a chance to gang up and act on him....pretty funny watching it play out over and over...if you've had larger orinos you know they never quit and just keep looking for trouble 24/7...I hope it never happens and with balls the way he is I really dont worry too much now as he backs them off pretty quickly.Steve_89;623697; said:Awesome
Do they give the silver dollars a hard time??
steve the two big silvers in there grew up with them and they dont even pay them or the rotkiels any attention, but I put in 3 other silvers the same size a few months back to add to the group and they killed them immediately
I dont understand it but now since they have become bigger they will not tolerate any additions to that tank.....main reason I recently had to buy two more giant tanks over the past 6mths...I have a mass group of baby azuls and others that are gonna need a place to go and I wouldnt risk putting them in the orino tank...the big azul resides with them but that is the only other pbass in that tank with them.
im facing that proiblem too... the size diffrence.... between juvi and the big boys...DIESELMACK;623708;623708 said:steve the two big silvers in there grew up with them and they dont even pay them or the rotkiels any attention, but I put in 3 other silvers the same size a few months back to add to the group and they killed them immediately
