It doesn't take 4 years to learn to move a fish that is getting beat up.
+ one!
Who's flaming? He knew want he was doing and was proud of it. I hope he matures before he has kids. Sorry if I seemed a little tough on him blame The United States Marine Corps for that, You know protect the weak and defenseless. LOL+1.
Put the poor thing out to pasteur. She deserves it. My GT was also at the bottom of the pecking order in my overstocked tank. No permanent damage was done, but as soon as the other fish grew up and out of the tank (given their own tanks or given away), I made sure to give it the best stress-free life possible. It's the least I could do, and the least you can do.
But hey everyone, chill with the flaming. I'm sure we have ALL made fish mistakes and irresponsible decisions. It's the curse of loving fishkeeping. Sometimes your eyes are bigger than your tank and you don't realize how fast and how large something grows.
I'm sure the OP has learned from his mistakes, just as we have learned from ours. You trolls are about 4 years too late so save it.
honestly in my opinion its pretty cruel leaving the GT in the tank through 4 years of suffering. Imagine someone constantly chasing you with a knife for four years in your living room, thats about the same thing. I'd probably want to die. You should ask here or read online about compatibility however before you buy agressive fish

+1I dont get it. Why did you just watch this all go down? I would have had that red devil out of there after the first fight. I mean 4 years of that?
I had 2 green sunfish and my tiger oscar one of the sun fish kept the other in hiding and beat up my oscar the moment I noticed frayed fins and scratches on my oscar I put it up on craigslist and was gone in 2 days. Now he and the other sunfish chase each other a lil and that's about it occasionally my oscar runs into a decoration and gets a minor scratch but that's about it tho the sunfish may need to go soon hes starting to get bigger then my oscar who for some reason doesn't really like pellets
OP speaking here:
Enough with the flaming please. Incase you didn't read this thread thoroughly enough, after a year of my red devil killing things I moved her to her own separate tank where she's been ever since. And after that [early 2009-mid 2011] NEARLY 3 YEARS of undisturbed peace occurred. My pacu, 2 oscars, pleco, and GT got along perfectly fine until the pacu snapped last week.
Yes I understand that I didn't read up enough before hand, and being 12, took the advice of my local Petsmart employees too much to heart. But when you have 8 large aggressive fish in a tank together, It's not like you can snap your fingers and have all but the most passive disappear overnight. And since middleschoolers have trouble acquiring jobs in most states, it's not like i could afford new tanks for each one.
What would you have done but let them duke it out until you could get new tanks? Now i have 4 large fish spread amongst 3 separate tanks and although quite a bit of harm was done, my green terror is alive and well (unless you count several compromising injuries) so please take this story as more of a survival story or a life lesson than something to troll a new member about.

You always had the option to get rid of your fish to the petstore.
Someone said something to another poster, and I will repeat that..
Be a fish keeper, not a fish haver.

He's living alone in the 90 gallon he's lived in his whole life. 13 inches and healthy as can be. "Tiney tanks??" That would be more the case of my red devil. Believe it or not a 90g is one bigass tank.
