The end of an era...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was just curious because so many people say when there's aggression - add more Polys. And I really don't think that that is the solution for all fish. Some are just inherently aggressive (like my Palmas). But for a second there I thought maybe it worked in your case.

I've seen the difference, also. The Palmas that I had that was really aggressive would take chunks out of Udon. The Teug that was nipping at Polli really was just nipping and not causing any real damage. That had actually improved recently, too. I think that in that case adding more Polys or switching things around could help. But with the fish like my Palmas or your Moke, not so much.

Manson was meant to be a one-poly poly. ;)
I’m such a softie....giving her one more chance, she just looked lonely in the QT. she is playing much better with others with the bigger polys in the tank. She is pilling and Soba chases her around lol. she probably just needs to be with other polys and fish who are dominant and bigger than her. Or the one-poly poly. :p

I think she is too rough for the current crew who obviously like passively relaxing and swimming around like dolphins. Will give the moke a try one more time in the big tank, then if she acts up back in the QT.

Hopefully, will get some news soon about the day I can ship her.

You are a softie! She's beat up on every fish in there except Soba so far - she has earned her loneliness. You wanna be a jerk, you can't have nice things. ;)

Hope you can ship her out soon.
Yeah I've given her too many chances... She lasted 7 hours....but then started nipping at Soba and Macaroni. This time there was some little shreds, which is not okay. So back to the QT she goes. She just needs to be by herself or with other dominant polys. Because she wants to be the top poly or needs to be put in her place by the larger polys.
 
Maybe you can ship her to J jaws7777 and he can put her in with sp. Delaware. That might burst her dominance bubble a little. ;)

you know, that's exactly what I was thinking! But my moke might pick on the sen.

Not if the Dabola gets to her first. LOL

Lmaoo funny the big dabola doesnt bother the sen at all. The sen swimms all over her and follows her around like a puppy dog
