thast the dominant male in my tank has been since the day i put him in.

i just got a new peacock that has an inch on him knowing that this would happen.

The little one is beating the **** out of the other larger one what can i do to help stop aggression. I trying feeding and moving the ornaments around he just wont stop, chasing him with the net didnt help either. please help. ty.
 
try giving him females??? throw like 3-4 females in their and see what happens..
 
i dont really want a crowded tank but females are on the way. waiting till they can grow up and i can sex them. I will be placing the blue menace by himself soon at my girlfriends house hell be there 2 week while the new peacock recovers, hopefully this "time out" will help with the aggression.

anyone have any good experiences with putting aggressive fish in time out?
 
btw the new peacocks fins are being shredded by this mfer. not to mention the non stop beatings and chasings
 
too late, my new rufus peacock is dead

r.i.p

basterd finished him off last night i was going to go get the time out tank today.

good game.
 
What can you do?

i had a feelin that was going to happen.
sorry about your lost.

Next time please feel free, to get him a small tank or a bucket adn put a filter on it until it can be be enough to fight back and handle itself without being swallowed.
