Like topic says i baught 2 new silvers today , because i had one and planning to buy a RTG very soon and i dont want it killed ( so im trying to spread aggression), i had 2 silvers from the start ended up with the one i got in the tank now killed the other and today i added 2 new silvers both about similar size ( my plan is to make it only asians but i cant afford that atm). seems like my old one went aggro mode as soon as he saw them..... im guessing this guy i got got a pissed off personalty? or is he just trying to show whos the boss?
 
Its a show of dominance itll end soon
 
Show of dominance and defending their territory. I have 10 and they constantly fight....
 
Alrite cool hoping it will blow off then. the fun part is hes smaller then one of the others but i guess that doesnt mather ^^.
 
How do Aros fight?

I've only ever just had a single one and he's so peaceful... just wondering what an aro does when it's being aggressive. Do they bite hard enough to wound the other fish or is it just the typical chasing/harmless mouthing most of my other fish do?

Atleast mine kinda goes into "attack positon" curls up abit , or just stalks them and jump-attack the other im not sure how hard it is but they could probally wound a fish pretty bad if they really wanted.

i put another aro in my tank like 5 days back and i just witnessed the aro fight. the aros actually stand besides each other head to tail and there is lot of huffing and puffing and then one of the aros strike. but till now there hasnt been any fin damage. i dont think they really bite. i hope this is harmless coz now there is not much of this fighting but a little bit of chasing done by the dominant one, this is not gonna hurt my aro rite??
