GT bit me
- Thread starter cichlid2006
- Start date
yes plants for my uaru to munch on.
serious question though, is this aggression a bad sign to his future temperament and could he eventually turn on his more timid tankates?
tankmates are 7 clown loaches
4 gold gourami
3 filament barb
3 banded rainbow fish
2 uaru A. (juveniles)
1 bristlenose plec (terror avoids fighting with him at all costs)

Sounds pretty 'normal', if he shows no serious aggression towards his tank mates then I wouldn't say you have anything to be concerned about.
.. except your hand.
it was not a curiosity nibble. i felt the first one but didnt see properly then i went near him again and he hit my hand and clamped and started shaking like a pitbull. i admit he made me jump first time lmfao.
ure tank mates wont last long my dad had a GT like that took an absolute pounding in the end by his RD. the GT bullied everyfish in the tank constatntly, then my dad got his RD and put him in the GT was acting all hard bit the RD a couple times took of a couple scales and scratched his head then the RD turnt round and killed him, just like that.
well i dont really want to risk it. for as funny as it was him standing up to me i have to think of the possible murder of my other fish. would love to keep him because of his personality but i cant have another large tank. will take him to my lfs.
thanks guys.
thanks guys.
dont take him to the LFS yet if he's not showing signs of aggression to the others dont take him, he could be a strange fish and like the others and just hate you...
