What is your fifth fish? a giant gourami or giant snakehead... both are good mates.
my fifth fish is my giant snakehead… here's an breakdown what happened to my giant snakehead



I had an 10.2" inch redline snakehead in individual and jump out in the pond in almost 1 to 2 hours cause I think its being harrassed by its tank mates especially the 15.9" albino pacu I put back the snakehead in the pond and I watched to see if anything happens to fifth snakehead and I slept 5 hours straight and I have seen my snakehead’s gone with an bite mark on its head and skull but not floating and its not breathing anymore and has many unseen bite marks and I think the gills have been damage when out of water and also now I am planning to sell and get rid of my fat albino pacu and my big TSN (just in case) to reduce some issues from Bboy the silver aro cause its starting to bite it and has couple of bite marks on its scales and scratch on its skull and if I have a pacu and a larger cf I think my other fish wont live long or after sometime can be swallowed fold in half especially my silver aro so I have three fish left my 10" RTC and my 9.8" paroon shark and an 14.5" silver arowana Idk if it will be fine but I will try to add another juvenile redline snakehead to see if it gives another chance by its few tank mates now and I think it might reduce some issues of aggression I think any ideas? Solutions and how to reduce snakehead from jumping and dieing easily? In my opinion I think the pacu is the aggressor or redlines are weak fish by nature what do you guys think in your ideas?.

What are Solutions and how to reduce snakehead from jumping and dieing easily? (Reason 1) based on my experience I think pacus are aggressive fish and not considered peaceful fish (Reason 2) I think giant snakeheads or redlines are just really weak fish by nature what do you guys think how about an giant gourami or should I remove all my fish and I'll put giant gourami and giant snakehead individually any ideas?
