For god sakes i thought my cichlids got all the tussles out of there system,
just been sitting here for the last 15mins watching my vieja biff<8inches<attacking my two oscars<10-11inches>notcied both oscars have scrapes down there sides, at one point they were cowering together in the corner of the tank, i chased vieja round tank with net and at present alls peaceful again,,,,lets hope this is a one off problem other wise iam going to have to rehome the vieja as have no more tanks:irked: and wife loves the oscars toooo much:nilly:
funny thing is they tussle and brutis<jag>comes over cheeks blazing and seems to refer the whole fight<:screwy:
 
what type of Vieja? Aren't they pretty peaceful, usually? I've only heard of blackbelts being mean.
 
its a vieja biff,,,,,but i have heard all viejas have a real evil streak,,,when i first got mine it killed a green terror and mutilated a jack dempsey<who survived and now lives with my sister
 
good luck....nothing worse than seeing a family fave taking a beating....
 
Hope everything works out so getting rid of the vieja can be avoided.
 
Oscar don't work with centrals , they just aren't agressive enough.Probably have to find the Viega a home
 
nout goes smooth with fish :irked:

you sorted the Jag out with his Oscar aggression, hope you sort the Biff out mate.
 
well ive got home to two oscars sulking in the corner of the tank<both beaten too smitherns<so vieja has to go....just caught her<i think a her>and put her very temp in a 2ft tank<bolty you intrested in her>? otherwise shes going to the lfs tommorow...such a shame as shes BeAuTiFuL,,,,,,,,,,,,
