bullying

[mbunafishkeeper]

i got a couple of jags the other day from shane, 1 is about 3.5-4" and the other is about 3" they are getting bullied by the rainbow shark.

why?

Invading territory. Rearrange decor and it'll be fine.

Yea I heard Rainbow Sharks can be territorial.

mystix said it. pull all your ornaments/rocks/wood out and re-arrange everything. that way none of the fish own a territory and the slate is clean so to speak

My experiences with rainbow shark and red tail black sharks are that they feel that the whole tank is there’s. You can also try taking the rainbow shark out of the tank for a few days and then re-introducing him back. That might be a little easier then rearranging your whole tank…

yeah i have a redtailed black shark in all of my tanks i love them, mine bullys a green texas, salvini and others. it will blow over soon when the jag gets more agressive and bigger

The redtailed black shark are fast so they can normally stay out of the way… They seem to hit and run!
