My bass have been fighting and I've tried just about everything to stop them. The larger 2 keep the smaller one in the corner. I've added 3x silver dollars, which they ignore, I added a datnoid which hides all the time, a dorado(temporary) which they now ignore, and a orino that they are now picking on too. What else can I do, anymore suggestions?
 
The smaller ones have to be moved, until there large enough to take a stance.....Good luck.

PS Purchase a divider.
 
They are about the same size, not much smaller, idk maybe your right.:confused:
 
Smaller guy can tough it out. Put driftwood in the corner for him to hide. I separated my xingus and that was the worst thing. Got them all back together and they learn to get along.

There's no physical damage no torn fins or anything, and they're still eating. It's weird they all get along once the lights go out.

The reason they get along at night is because their eyesight is drastically reduced and they become passive. This is when catfish rule the underwater world!

lLol!I have led nightlights on the tank, plus fish can see at least 40% better than humans, in murkey or clear water.
 
I think the largest pbass is a female and all the rest are males and are fighting over her.
