aggressive peacocks

[peacocklover]

anyone have any idea why one of my peacocks is starting to get aggressive? i have 6 peacocks who are about 2" or 3" in i believe a 50 gallon. it just happened today. he started chasing particularly one other peacock away. he's also the most developed of the group. any ideas as to why this started?

pbass are predatory/aggressive fish, thats pretty normal for them to do to establish territory and status.

i knew they were semi-aggressive fish, but i just thought it was weird because he only picks on one and leaves the others alone. and this is the first time its happened during my three weeks of having them

its normal

Totally normal. Add hiding spots and or plants to allow them to hide/ recover. Also maybe add some dither fish to help spread the aggression around

Chill it's normal. You can add dithers to spreed the wealth, like Severums, Silver Dollars, Flagtails, and many others.

Yup! Relax! predatory fishes are bound to fight for territory sometime or another. Also post up some pics!
