LMB fighting P.Bass

[Fishman0]

My LMB is always showing his "Dominance" in the tank by going after my P.Bass, they are all still juviniles at 4-6"

the LMB is about an inch smaller than both the P.Bass but thinks it is full grown sometimes.

after another fight, the LMB wounded one of the P.Bass's head. he now has a small scrape on the top of his head over his eyes.

how can i prevent the further aggression?

how may i ensure the P.Bass does not get a bacterial infection?

P.S. water params are kept as excellent as possible and water changes are done regimentily every saturday. the past water change was about 80-85% because i had to drain the tank to move it.

i have the same prob with my tt eel and my two oscars. iono my tt has been fighting my oscars a lot lately. for you a tank divider might help.

If fish are showing aggression toward eachother and wounding themselves then they prob shouldn't be tankmates. Pbass and LMBs for example do not co-exist naturally so it makes sense that they would have beef. Pick which one you like best IMO

I am currently trying to get rid of the LMB but am not getting any definite takers just yet...

i dont want to release him back into the wild

I have also been having some tank aggression my oscars go at each other all the time but thats normal i guess. They occasionally go at the aro maybe once a week i see it

Aggression always seems to happen when the regular lighting is on.

I have moonlighting for night viewing, where aggression does not happen at all, so i can expect no aggression when the lights are off
