i wonder...

Is there a way to make fish less aggressive, without buying a new tank lol

My auratus is crazy, it is bullying my 5 inch FH and it's only 4 inch

I think you'll face problems in the future when that FH gets big and bullies/kills your auratus.

Auratus are the devils of the mbuna world. Size does not matter with those cichlids. They fight and kill off other fish just like chipokaes. Why do you have him with a flowerhorn?

 

[GhostShrimpMan]

Oh, Auratus are from Malawi, so I believe they have different water chemistry needs anyways.

i have a link somewhere saying it is ok and it worked last time, i can get photos lol (but its in a temp 30gal with my old 8inch FH and 5inch auratus) - i got my tank repaired after a week or 2.

My FH was lonely, he (FH) plays with him (auratus) but when my FH stops, the auratus tends to carry on. however, the LFS had the auratus with some ob zebras and blue zebras (bought an ob zebra with it)

all is ok (for now) and only minor fin damage has occured (none on scales)

Just know your playing with fire. One day the FH might snap..

I know, but i always will have my 40g hospital


Can anyone answer my question lol

 

[GhostShrimpMan]

Well there's dividers but I'm pretty sure that's not what your looking for. To be honest I don't think there's any way that really works long-term.

I was once told a method that i will never do. It involves punishing the fish
