Hi,
I have made a thread here as requested.
If you want to talk about my tank and setup and methods for keeping angry fish head over to:

My question to the OP is same as above-- what size tank? Will make a difference to what you might even be able to attempt or not. Large enough tank and you might have some options, including dividing the tank with a clear divider that allows the new and old fish to see each other-- I've used clear acrylic with holes I drilled in it or expandable window screens. It's possible the fish will become accustomed to each other and accept their presence over time and that you can eventually remove the divider. Might take a while, as in a couple of months. I can't guarantee success but it's a method that's worked for me before. Or, if you really want the new fish bad enough, and have only one tank, but it's a large enough tank, you might be able to keep it permanently divided-- again goes to what size tank? Even so, it's also possible that disrupting the status quo could disrupt the peace between your current tankmates.
Suggestion for catching difficult to catch fish: Use a divider of some sort to shepherd the fish you're after to one end of the tank and confine them to a space small enough to net them out of more easily. I've used acrylic as above, expandable window screens, or two standard aquarium dividers for a 55 gal tank can be custom fitted together to fit a larger tank.

This is from the tank that you have twice posted threads about it crashing, right? Obviously you have no understanding of how the nitrogen cycle works in an aquarium. Your fish are not aggressive because they are so stressed from swimming in the ammonia that is your tank. Probably should learn to actually maintain a take first before giving advise to others.
A 6x2x2 will literally disappear once all your fish reach maturity regardless of aggression. Syns and Fens can become massive at maturity.
Horrible way to keep fish IMO. JDM style tanks are not my thing. To each his own.
To the op: this is typical behavior given your setup and stock. I've had moderately stocked tanks work for awhile, but as fish nature things can change quickly. At certain sizes, certain fish can turn on a dime and wreck a seemingly peaceful tank.
I've had some luck removing fish and rescaping but those that have been successful were long qt periods ( weeks to months)

As they increase in size I do plan to reduce the stock particularly:
Red devil, Jack Dempsey, one synspilum, king kamfa, 2 Pleco
But only when the fish are sufficient size to give the same over stocking effect with reduced numbers. I will probably end up with 5-6 large fish in total

So it's a grow out tank. Most of us around here have plenty of those, we just don't post threads about them. Nothing new here really then.
