well ive kinda asked this befor but i gota ask again lol

last time i had my bullhead around 14inches long he would attack my oscars which wer 9inchs long

he would only attack during the night anyway they wer only in a 4foot at the time. i also tryd him with a 14inch clownknife and he also got a few wounds.
so i put the bullhead outside but now the ponds dryed up i gota bring him in again.

now my question is will he be ok with my oscars(9inches) ,clownknife(15inchs), large pacu and 2 foot aro.
now that there in a bigger tank , the size of the tank is a bit over 6foot by 2foot by 2foot.

so is he still gona have a go at my fish in this size tank or not?
and do you rekon he could cause any real damage to any of them

lol so yea any help would be co0l :D
 
Well the night time is the right time for hunting if your a bullhead. He might still go after your diurnal fish when they're sleeping. Maybe if you feed him right before you turn the lights off he won't be as hungry and aggresive. Put some caves in your tank for him to hide in and maybe he'll calm down some. Good luck and keep us posted!
 
I'd say the arrow would be fine and possibly the clown but the oscar is probably still at risk.. I would beef up the hiding spots and just keep an eye on em, get a large tote for him to hold him until the pond fills up if you have too...
