Yester day all in one day my O got its fins riped up and it scales are gone from my gold saum, my tank has been fine intil then iv removed the o for recovery. the tank the o is in isnt big enough to house him for long will it be okay to put him back in? other fish are JD, convict and a babby festa.

PS commuinty tank is big enougth, water par are fine

how big is the tank....if anything, the "O" should be running that tank. what's the gal. you got the "O" in....the QT tank? how big are your fish?

JD's and Convicts can be pretty nasty, Fish sizes would help

 

[zorba4884]

Gold suam is about 7inches, JD is 5, Oscar is 4.5, con&festa are 2.5.

tank is 5*2*2 grow out, getting a biger one next year.

O is in quareatine tank

Most likely the JD would have done it judging by the sizes your saying, keep an eye on the JD to see if he/she is aggressive

 

[zorba4884]

No it wasnt the jd it was the gold saum i seen it happen (got him out when i seen the damage) when i got hom my JD is peaceful and mostly hides.

bump

ya, you can add him back in when he's healed but when you do rearrange your tank so the fish territories are different and hopefully that will curb aggression.
Also, try making a hiding spot just for him where he can fit and not the gold saum.

there's no guarantee even with this advice your saum won't still pick on your O so you should still keep an eye on them just in case. Good luck.

will do. but none of my fish really have territorys they all just swim every were.
