Need Help ASAP!

[NitroDempsey]

So I brought home a baby green terror, like 3/4 of an inch big. My Dempsey who Is about 1.75 inches and Attacks and kills most other fish. The weirdest thing my Dempsey flares completely up and turned totay sideways as if he was dead, what does that mean! Everytime the gt gets near he freezes and turns sideways! Help!

My guess is hes just playimg dead maybe but ive never heard of this happening... Has the jd hit him at all? Could be something with the swim bladder

 

[NitroDempsey]

Yeah he chased him a few times now, I have never seem my jack Dempsey do that though, it's almost as if he's scared of the baby gt

Oh the dempseys doing it?! I read it wrong lol theres no way a small gt could do that much damage to it. Its probably just normal like said above then

Now that I know he's not dying it's kinda funny! I've never ever seen him even hesitate to attack let alone play dead to a fish half his size
