norfolk, ne
I just reintroduced my female red terror to my 150. I removed her because she quit eating. Everytime I put her back in the big tank she gets picked by pretty much all the fish in the tank, but mostly by my texas and a kenyi. She has a very bad attitude and I had to remove from other tank because she would eventually kill the fish in that tank. She is 5"+. I put her in last night and is pretty beat up. The chasing is minimal now but she just lays at the top of tank. Should I pull her out and try again with a divder in the tank? Should I wait it out? I refuse to lose her. I don't understand how she can be so mean in one tank and so docile in an other.
 
How big is the other tank and who are the inhabitants? Do you have a lot of hiding places in your 150?
 
44 corner severums and cons. Lots of rock work and driftwood in the 150
 
the texas is with severums he chases a little bit but nothing to bad. A nip here and there. No where near as aggressive as my festae was when in other tank.
 
the divider that I find works best is available at lowes/home depot in the lighting section. I think they call it light diffuser/egg crate. Its $12 a sheet and the sheet is 2' wide and 4' long i believe. it will fit perfectly in a 180 thats 2' deep. Just use pliers to snip the extra off. You will need at least 8 suction cups as well, depending on their size. All in all, it will take you about 5 minutes to put it in.

Im going to get some right now for my festae pair that is trying to kill everyone in my 265.
 
she found a hiding spot under some slate for now. I dont have a home depot or lowes hopefully menards will have some egg crate in their lighting section.
