Difference between aggression and dominant

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I have a breeding pair of jags in a180g by themselves. They are still relativity small at 7-8" for the male and 6" for the female. 2 weeks ago I had to throw in a 7" pb from another tank because one of the top braces on my 300g came loose and I needed to drain that tank to fix it and all my umbee grow outs and red tailed tinfoil barbs had to go in the tank my pb were in. The jag pair were terrorizing the pb for the first day or two more or less tag team chasing it around the tank. After the 2nd day the male decided it was somehow the females fault and started nipping at her. I had to remove her from the tank top the other was fixed and I could remove the pb. They are back together in the 180 and doing fine now. I wish there was a greater size difference between them so I could set up a few escape areas for her in the tank. Awaiting spawn number 6 since they paired up any day now.
