Fish Island
well my 100 gal has a really weird overflow. its actually on the right side but its in the middle of the right side. so when i introduce new fish into the tank i guess they territory has been takin or something and my black eared paroon shark and jardini are both in that lil corner of the over flow cuz they are the newest fish to the tank. IS THERE A WAY I CAN SOME HOW GET THEM TO SWIM IN THE MIDDLE? cuz they literally just swim in small circles around that area.
 
What are the other fish in the tank?

Usually, you can break territorial boundaries by rearranging all of the tank decorations. Move the rocks and plants to new locations and reslope your gravel. A major water change will help by slightly disorienting the fish while you rearrange their world. Then, all inhabitants will have to stake new territorial claims.

Of course, if the reason for any new addition's meekness is due to being badgered by an aggressive tankmate, that aggression can be a problem once they settle down again.
 
yup oddball is always right
