in the now!!
Need some advice have two rapps orinos .One is really starting to outsize the other.In the past few days the bigger one has been bumping the smaller one to enough to show a little visable damage on fins thinking about moving larger one and getting a few more from rapps before they are gone.small one is 2.5 large one is 3.5 now rapps says what he has left are 2 to 2.5 Would I have same problem if i got more of rapps smaller ones.Iknow bullying is always a posability but am i setting myself up to fail .?
 
Do you have any cover in the tank ?drift wood a rocky cave a big plant etc. etc.
In watching my orinos i notice them bulliyng all the fish thats what orinos do .
How about adding some other target fish in the tank maybe it will at least slow down the beatings from the larger fish and give the smaller guy a chance
 
ya have plants rocks bigger one is doing alot of flarin pushen around had not caused any damage before little one had torn fin couple scales missing .Was just suprised should not have been i guess .bigger one is just growing so much faster .trying to feed the same by hand feeding or dropping right on top of each.l
 
its gonna happen...i got a runt outta my 4, only one that doesnt eat pellets. Seperate him.
 
thanks for the sugg.
