I have a 17inch Florida car and added 3 blackberry silver dollars and 2 regular ones. One of the black berrys that is nipping at the car so he is hiding most of the day. Get rid of silver dollars or add more?
Thank is 8ft so they have enough space

never seen this in silver dollars are these more aggressive ?
 
Don’t know. I have not had blackberries.
What do you mean by ‘regular ones’ (dollars)? There are many species in several genera.

I took out the bully blackberry an my gar is no longer hiding, do I reintroduce later or not ?

regular is the plain one ones with no spots or anything the cheapest ones
 
So I went the hard route and bought 5 more, quarantine them together with the bully no problem. reintroduced to the tank today and the bully went straight to business on the Florida gars tail again ripping a piece out. I know it’s him, he has a unique scar. Took him out, so far the other 7 seem ok. It’s possible it’s just one psycho. Hoping this is it, because they are so pretty and school so nicely. I have arowana and added a Severum, no issues only the gar because he lays down and makes the silver dollar angry
 
Feel bad for the bully he was so happy with the bigger school and back to jail
