I didn't know you were going to transfer him to a 210 shortly. I would try that first. Often more space = less aggression.
Stupid Carpintis!!!! Need advice...

pretty fish guy. im thinking mines not carpinte or carpintis or whatever. with my RD's i keep their teritories facing opposite directions so they attack eachother less unless they're mating then the male sucks up. girls are such sukka's lol 
what the hell is mine?
what the hell is mine?
I had a cyno texas and it was a female but man was it a little f*** Head. I had to take it back it would chase ANYTHING i didnt want to take it back because it looked so cool but it had to be done.
Yeah i guess its luck of the draw with these guys. sometimes you find one thats mild-mannered and other times they are little devils!
My last one was a 1" smaller than my JD which ran the tank and he challenged him constantly when he went into breeding mode everyone bowed down. They are pretty aggressive by nature, but some are mild mannered.
hey to you guys with carpintis in community tanks...do they show the normal coloration?? mine first looked like the one posted by Katevo but after i threw him in the 100g hes had some crazy colors, breeding coloration maybe? he's head area is a bluish/white color and the rest of the body is a solid jet black. i cant even see the blue/green spots.
And his color is like this ALL the time now. Do your guys fish do this or do i just have a really pissy fish that needs some anger management classes???!?!?!
