Hi,i need some help.i have a frontosa that i kept with senegalus bichir and fire eel and pink tail chalceus.my frontosa never bother any of my fish.but when i put an indonesian tigerfish in my tank,frontosa became really really nasty toward the tiger.he just keep chasing my tiger and sometimes bite him.can someone tell the cause of my frontosa behaviour?and what should i do?
 
The frontosa is simply defending its territory against a new fish. He's probably used to the others and doesn't see them as competition. Try doing a water change and rearranging the tank's decoration so the frontosa is less comfortable/confident. Also if you don't have, add some fake or real plants to the IT can hide and the frontosa can't see it all the time.
