Birchir police??????

[oscaroo]

I just walked over to my aquaqrium so I could look at my fish... I saw my jewl cichlid and my jack dempsey fighting, than as I got closer I saw the birchir chasing the dempsey away. The birchir could have bit the dempsey if he wanted to but it just chased it and then started to mind its own buisnes... The birchir has some aggressive hitory of killing an angelfish so I am suprised. Well it is pretty good that my birchir is helping beacause I don't want a dead jewl cichlid.

That's cool,sounds like the bichir is the boss and keeps order in the tank.

I gues you are wright. If my 5 inch or 4 inch Blood parrot wanted to it could but they are really mellow and is kinda nutruel.

Every now and then a fish will step up and do that...I had a tilapia once that didn't any of the other fish to squabble.

Pretty instresting, suprises me since I doubt fish do nthis in the wild beacause they have limitless gallons so there could not be a fight.

No I don't think very many of them do this in the wild.Just as you pointed out,there is limitless space and the fish go about their normal business.
