Another idea would be to get those little plastic bubble containers you get from the candy machine when you were little. Take one and place a little goldfish or something in it and let the fish try and catch it. Of course it would only be temp. for the little fish and your agro fish should not be able to swallow the bubble....


good idea
 
I dont understand the point of trying to curb aggressive with a ping pong ball, or even a goldfish in a small plastic ball. I would focus more on tank design and proper acclimation processes and less on what foreign object I can put in a tank and bait my fish into attacking it. When would you use a method like this? Would it be more when you add new fish and you want to pull the aggression away from the new fish? I just dont understand the point of this.

for fun, just for the hell of it, if you read any of the earlier post you would know that :screwy:
 
im assuming your fish have to be way bigger than the huge white ping pong ball you just tossed into the tank for the first time ever, like some sort of alien space ship at the top of the fish galaxy.

i read a thread a while back where a guy said he used ping pong balls to stem aggression, so yesterday i went and bought some ping pong balls, even though to tell you the truth i have no aggression problems with my affys, i just figured it would be cool if they went for it. And well they didnt, in fact they hated it, so much so they wouldnt even go near the top of the tank. so i took it out. Just wondering if it worked for anybody else.

there even underlined for ya james, and anyone else who's too simple to read a paragraph, besides you've already proven you havent had success with it so im not interested in your opinion :nutkick:
 
Nice to know you changed it! hahahaha. Never said anything about putting ping pong balls in my tanks. Unfortunately you may not be interested in my opinion, but because that is why everyone joins a forum, I will give my opinion. Unfortunately I cannot be banned for my opinion, sorry to spoil your day. I also dont need smileys kicking someone in the nuts, does not make me or you bigger than anyone else. I will be honest. I first ignored this post for two reasons. Reason number one is because you posted it. Reason number two is because I felt it was stupid to put ping pong balls in a tank to "curb" aggression. Unfortuantely I opened my mouth and fueled your fire, which means when I look at this I have to see more of your childish antics. I suppose I will go back to my prior ways and just leave it alone when nothing really needs to be said.

:swear:after 10 minutes you cant edit anymore, and if you would put the ignorance behind you for a minute, you can go back to the FIRST POST ON THIS THREAD, howd i change that? huh smart guy. my childish antics huh, yet your the one actively searching out my threads and my post, just so you can try to piss me off.
 
I was laughing at you changing your reply that you thought no one saw. You know the one where you changed it a bit. It looked something like this.

there even underlined for ya james,
:banhim: idiot.

edit: I dont search out your threads to try to piss you off, I am sorry if you feel that way. I actually leave most of your threads alone unless I feel that I have a valid point to make.
