Hello again my friends so tomorrow I will go for water change and I will ad another bio filtration also my question now is since we talk before few days about some things form my rbs last day and today I see very aggressive behaviour from the older rb that it was already in the tank before the team of 5 come I think he trying to become team leader although I think he has already made it in some level for example he would go first for food or it will go bullying another rbs for territory all the tank but it seems funny because its more smaller than the other piranhas and I really start to worry about his future that it will end up dead...
Because the new team is really giaaaant size and already having a leader....
So my question now is if I remove this fish from the tank what should I expect to the others or behaviour or stress or anything?
What will going to happen?
I don't want any not stable things since the piranhas is not feeding properly because its the 12 days that I put it in my tank.
 
If you separate, there’s a chance they won’t accept it upon reintroduction. I’d separate permanently if you do, or really rearrange the tank and keep them confused for when putting it back in.
You may have to ride it out and see what happens, which may result in fatality. Piranhas don’t always let the full shoal survive.
Get some extra decor in there for extra territory and hiding places.
Also, most important, keep trying with food. Hopefully they are hungry enough to eat. A well fed piranha is generally the least likely to kill something.

I will take this rbp out permanent to another aquarium solo for ever because I don't like this character for the other team it's promising for great trouble in close future...
I will change a bit of deco as you sed but in the whole process the piranhas would be in the tank so I am afraid for getting more stress that already have...
They will go for another team leader if this move out?
How fast?
First time this happens to me...
I also speak with previous owner of the team and told me exactly what feed them so now I think I am in right way...
After water change I will wait to see reactions about new deco and moving of the alphafish and then I will feed them the food that those quy told me...

What do you think it going to happen?
I already make the water amount with treatment for tomorrow.

There will probably be fighting as they look for a new alpha, but nothing should get too serious. Eventually one will come out on top.
The change in decor won’t be the most stressful thing, and they will recuperate soon.

I don't believe that someone will die really but I am just afraid about more stress also maybe all that effect the feeding that I will try to manage... All this changes with tanks, environmental, alphas, water changes, feeding problems... I will update you all tomorrow night...
My group is one challenging family ??

Okkkkkk soo....yesterday I did water change and I move out the piranha that we talk about now the other 5 seems more happy and move around more I don't know exact the alpha fish now but I will find out I suppose easy I also ad a new mechanic filter for giving waves at surface about deco I only ad one dragon and these days I will ad 2 plants also...
The team now has totally different behaviour really...
Tomorrow or day after(because yesterday all get stressed very much but today it's fine)I will try for feeding to see what happens...
Should I expect something good or bad or what kind of behaviour?

Tbh don't know if it will be good or bad but know that competition for Alpha status will start over again.
 
I think the main stressor is just how bare the tank is. Piranhas are extremely nervous, so if they feel exposed, they will be hesitant to eat. Mine had dense enough cover that you couldn’t even see him sometimes, and he ate food as soon as it touched the water.

The previous owner was have it in complete empty tank plus one of the times I try to feed baby mouse immediately go and take a bite.... But that was all because I think the main factor for that it was the previous piranha that I take out....
I will wait 2 days and I see through all day today the team is chill and nice and much more active...2 days because the previous owner told me feed them 400gr fish every 3 days... So I have to wait
