Well I got a 500 gal that is roughly 6 foot long by 4 foot deep by 3 foot tall-
I have the following stocked in it-
22 inch pacu
20 inch silver aro
20 marble sailfin
6 to 7 inch female dovii
8 inch midas/RD


And a few other fish that really dont matter-



But my ? being is that I placed my midas in here-He is totally owning the tank right now-How can I cut back on this aggression if at all-
He is completely dominating this tank-Keeps my pacu in the corner-
Beat the hell out of my dovii etc,etc...

I dont have means on relocateing this guy-Unless someone has deep pockets for shipping a fish of this size out of Alaska.....(which many wont pay the shipping prices) so I'm pretty much forced to go with a local sale or uthanization if I can't solve problem-


What should I do about this-
N e help is greatly appreciated everyone-
thanks in advance...
 
see if your local fish store will take it off your hands for a while maybe they could sell it for you,
 
mida/RD cross huh? I heard that a member on the boards ate a pair of RDs..

You could try more hiding places for the other fish? Maybe obstacles to block line of site so each fish can get a territory.

Not an option really-
I refuse to have them house my PET in a 33 gal tank-----Plus I dont feeling like buying all the stock that he will kill of theirs...

I was planning on adding some more driftwood to the tank to try to set up territories.....I added a few hude pots and some driftwood when I added the extra fish-But it didn't seem to faze them n e ...
 
AK, dont you have a spare 125 or something laying around with all the tanks you have? I know people aren't fond of dividers, and neither am I, but maybe divide one of your larger tanks you have already?

You can't purchase another temp tank?
