My peacock bass had been hovering at the bottom lately. He is eating fine. He sometimes loses his black stripes. He chases his tank mate around. Could someone help?? Ideas nitrates a little high but did 50% water change..
 
Well would start with full water parameters, tankmates, tank size, filtration etc. That’ll help the members get some ideas.

2 peacock bass Aquaclear 110 filter 55 g. The peacock bass are only 4 inches right now. The eat blood worms and guppies goldfish.
 
Could be aggression and hierarchy in place.
 
If the goldfish aren't quarantined one can kill your whole tank, may be the problem


I have separate tanks for my feeders. I been making sure they don’t go into my tank until I feed.. The immediately get eaten no matter if it’s a guppy or goldfish. My bass seem great today no issues.. maybe my big guy was being a jerk to his littler friend.. thank you for helping I appreciate all the info
