Kelberi being agressive towards new tank mates

[Kyledoc123]

Just added two 4-5 inch p bass to my tank which has a 10 inch kelberi which is trying to eat them is this just a phase or is this going to be a continuous problem?

Ehh! If it fits in their mouth or almost fits, it's usually fair game. It could be more of an aggression territorial thing. Do you have other fish in the tank or only those 3 fish?

Also have two tiger Oscars about 4-5 inch also doesn't seem to bother them the kelberi already made two attempts on p bass but realized they were to big to eat.

Bigger bass usual kill off smaller when able

This is pretty accurate. Your going to have to wait and see how it plays out.
