Dither Experience

Silver dollars are too big. How big are your reds?

Between 7-9 inches, the SD's were gone almost instantly. In any event, probably won't go down that road again.

 

[HoBoJoe]

Well hopefully it was entertaining..

 

[Totalimmortal]

It was, in a macabre sort of way ha

Feeding 2x day to the point of bursting and dithers and I cant stop my 6x 1"ers in a 55g with crazy flow from eating each other! And they are natts...what the heck.

 

[HoBoJoe]

What temp do you have the tank at?

 

[Rhomadeas]

If temp is high it makes them more aggressive.

 

[Rhomadeas]

And dithers need to be small in comparison to your fish 6" fish need very small ones

 

[Totalimmortal]

My reds will occasionally get in a brawl and one will get a chunk taken out of it, they heal up quick and act like nothing happened.

Yea, tank is warm...probably about 81F right now.

The only one I am worried about is one that had his eye bitten. All of them have fin damage...but they are eating fine so I figure thats whatever.

I mean, they wouldnt really be red bellies if they had perfect fins now would they? haha
