reducing aggression in a grow out
- Thread starter gnuisance
- Start date
I started with a pair of Trimac's and the female killed the male.
I ordered another Male and grew him out until he was larger than the female.
After successfully breeding, the male killed the female.
After several different arrangements and deaths, I have a single male Trimac in a 180 gal with a Rafael Cat that only comes out at night.

IME raising juvie Trimacs it is very hard to keep aggression to a minimum.
No matter what amount of cover there was in the tank.
Seemed most the fights were started over territory disputes.
A bare tank with a powerhead might be best bet in keeping aggression down.
This way there is nothing to fight over, and strong currents to keep their mind occupied on swimming over bullying.

bigger tank!!
I think a lot of individual caves (pipe or pots or both). A bigger tank will help too. I have raised many an istlanum that way successfully. Trimacs too. My trimac is one of my most aggressive fish, certainly the equal or better of a midas so far as aggression. Probably more aggressive IMO.
