For the most part everyone lives peacably. The Larger Fontosa shows a bit of aggression to the smaller one if he gets too close. The Buescheri will give chase to anyone who invades his cave, as will the larger Gold Comp. The Transcriptus' will occasionally pick a fight with the Chalinochromis brichardi and the Calvus. The C. Brichardi just dart away, The Calvus just flair their scales and say "Yo Jeeves, back the F@#K off!" Generally it's peaceful. Most of the described aggression occurs for the first few days after a new tankmate is added.thats exactly what Im trying to do with 75. Just hard finding the different fish. No bad aggression probs with all them together?
The only aggression that was any cause for concern was at the introduction of the second Frontosa. The Tropheus and the larger Front targeted him pretty bad. He had to be put in isolation for about a month. Basically, i gave him a boot camp. I put him in with a aggressive little Kenyi hybrid who would harass him a bit, but wasnt large enough to do any damage. He spent the month regrowing his nipped up fins and learning to hold his own against the Kenyi. At the end of the month, he was reintroduced to the Tang community where he has adapted well. the Tropheus now leaves him alone, and the larger Front only bothers him if he gets any closer than about 2" from him. The Photos were all taken within the past two weeks and notice there are no nipped fins.
