hi all,
I have just turned my light on to find one of my Tat's looking rather stressed with a white mark on it's nose from, what i can only assume, swimming into the glass. I had noticed heightened aggression from one as it quite readily chases the Geo's but more recently it has been very hit or miss with the other Tat. The smaller one is quite keen to shoal but the larger doesn't seem nearly as interested and generally chases it away. To add another Tat would probably help but heres the issue; they are very rare in these parts and ultimately very expensive. Add to this, when they do turn up they are generally a lot smaller. At a guess, they are both about 8" however the larger chap has a far deeper set body. The last time they came up on the lists they were closer to 5". So here's the question, is there anything i can do in the interim to help? I'm going to grab some melafix from the chap with the scuffed head but i don't really want to pull the smaller one out as re-introducing it at a later date could cause more problems.
Would some silvery dithers help at all? Just to alleviate some of the chasing?
any help is appreciated.
