In the last few days one of my Barras has been getting more aggressive towards the other, is this normal?
Barra aggression

I always thought that Barras were aggressive to fish smaller than them, but my two are both the same size??.
Barra can be aggressive to other barra, other fish, etc. It all depends on tank size/fish size and most importantly individual fish. I have barra that is a sweetheart. I know people who say two barra won't get along or their barra doesn't like any other fish when it gets to 2ft or so. Also things like feeding live will make any fish more aggressive.
Not saying you do but for anyone viewing prepared food seems to take some aggression out of most fish.

Their diet is pretty simple:
Pellets
Bloodworms
Shrimp pellets
and feeders once a month
Thanks for the info

Hopefully he tones down with the aggression, I don't want these two fighting.
I never had any agression with my barras when they were big, when they were little the bigger one would hassel the smaller one and try to eat it, but they came good.

I get a litle bit of aggression with my two. Sometiems the more dominant one will have a snap at the other. But it usually only lasts a few seconds and its over. Maybe happens once a week or fortnight. Never anything serious.
