In the fish section LOL
Right now I have 3 mono peacock bass at around 3.5" and 2 orino bass at about 3" in a 29 gallon grow out. Recently I have been noticing some major agression between the orinos and the medium sized mono I have. The orino's have gotten him to the point at which he is in the corner and very dark, stressed out and breathing heavy. I have divided them so he can recoup but I cant keep them like that for an extended period of time beacuse they can't really gain any size in the divided tank. My tank temp is at 87* right now because the fish are fragile to keep the ich out. Do you guys think if i lowred the temp the fish would calm down enough to get them back together or is this useless. Also i have a 37 gallon tank that i was thinking about putting the orinos in. Presently in that tank is a 4" indo dat and a 6 inch gentle greem sev. that wouldnt harm them. Could that also be an option. I dont really know what my best option is I wanna keep all of these fish alive and not let my monos get the crap beaten out of them?

All advice appreciated

I reckon you should seperate the orinos into the other tank if the agression has gotten that bad..
 
i think it would be a better option to move the 3.5" mono in to your 37 gal. and leave your orinos in your 29gal. your monos should grow a bit faster then your orinos, and once they gain a bit more size place them in a larger tank...29 gal is a bit small for a grow out IMO...Good luck
 
They should do ok with the dat.. just watch the tank for a couple of hours when you put the orinos in there, however there close to the same size so it should be ok..
 
ok thanks guys i just did a WC and everything right now the 29 is divided and i am gonna leave it like that for like 2 days so the bass just get back to normal not stressed by all the stuff going on in the tank i will let you guys know whats up when the move is done
 
In my opinion , sound like they are telling you UPGRADE ;) I would jump to a 75.
