hi , i have a newcomer about 8" C. Orinocensis peacock bass, i got it back from a balance stock which was in a nursing tank from the LFS. My pals and i were guessing why this pc i got back was there with a weaker relative in the tank. The odds was this was the more dominant pc and had battled with the other inside and the latter had appearance confidence as a result plus some bruises.
Upon releasing and recuperating this fella in my comm tank, which already has a pair of juveniles of c. temensis and monoculus, it was orientating and making itself at home, no signs whatsoever.
But on the second say afte some water and filtration maintenance, this orinocensis appears to have conflict with the 5" peacock basses. The signs were trying to chase them away and aside and he was like a rooster which is in command to blow the bugle one. I was wondering if this is a sign of dominance and aggressive behavior, The symptoms overnight were scales drop and battle wounds on the tail ends and fin tear. Can somebody advice here as i have created a mock up barrier of drift wood and artificial plantage vegetation in the middle of the 80 gal. thanks cheers!
