Do you punish your fish

Chill guys, its obviously gotten way out of hand. Most of the posts have been made sarcastically, were just having some fun. Lock the thread thats fine, the OP was just asking a question no need to go crazy over this. Like I have already said I think most of the times if you do push the other fish away or get the net out and scare them with it, its an in-the-moment thing. I dont think most just say "hey, Im going to take the net to my catfish and attack it".
I punished recently. First time. My large male convict was all of a sudden attacking the girl. He had grown much bigger than her and she ended up hiding in the corner or in between the filter tube and the heater. She would end up going sideways as if dying... from stress I imagine. So I put him in a 1 gallon tank for a few days (constantly cleaning the water!) to give her a break. Not so much as punishment but to prevent a murder! Though everyone around me thought I was, saying, "put his *** in that little tank!" And after she seemed ok I put them back together and man!!! He went nuts! Like "oh yea? take me out ima kill her" and he did. So now he's perfectly fine in there with about 30 fry. You can't punish a convict... they're born too bad for their own good

Now thank to you the thread might get locked! LOL jk... seriously though that comment was scary
the fish isn't going to understand punishment. there are only 2 things on a fish's mind, eat and make baby fish.
