Yes I have. The damn Oscars will come to the top and get in the way of the gars. The gars were here before them so they are just better and are first priority. I feed the oscars first since they always need fed like dogs. But after awhile i want the gars to eat. So If I put a pellet in for the gar specifically and if the Oscar comes near I will at times push them away. Rather hard at times since their not small oscars. Gotta do what ya gotta do.

I've also put a Female GT in a 10 gallon because it kept attacking the male. I also verbally abuse the black oscar at times. It will open it's mouth and try to attack/defend it's self and stare straight at me.....I tell it to shut up. :)


My friend used to hold his pbass in the net bc he wouldnt stop eating.

My oscars eat like cows as well I have to put a pellet directly in front of the aro so he wont get there.

I've seen a fish chasing another fish relentlessly before I stuck the net in there and chased him around. I saw it again, and did it again a few other times. It still does it, worse I think.

I have the same luck :(
 
i read so many responses about people punishing their fishes and its really stupid. firstly the fish dint ask you to buy it and get it home so we have no right to punish it.
secondly, it is our fault that we dont choose their tank mates wisely. some fishes just cant live with tankmates and we should consider that.
 
i dont know about punishment, but sometimes if my fish get spoiled from things like krill or whatever and start not taking pellets, ill just let em not eat haha. that always makes em wanna take the pellets.
