When I got home last night I noticed that my new TSN was bleeding on his side.:nilly:
This is def the work of 1 of my tigers.

Should I remove the TSN and put him in my 10g growout until he gets a little bigger? He's 3-4" right now. Or do u think he will b ok? He's only been in the tiger tank for 2 days.

What do u think MFK??? Help me out.
 
I think you should remove it for a bit, because I use to got an AT that likes to nip on other fish fin

Its not the TSN attacking, its they tend to get shy and try to squeeze in the same hiding spot as the datnoid. Then the datnoid get irriated and start beating it up. Thats what happen to my TSN x RTC hybrid (torn fins)

I have (2) 2.5" NTT's, (1) 2" NTT, and (1) 4.5" IT.
I have noticed the little NTT's chasing the TSN around the tank. 1 of them is probably the culprit.

The TSN has been hiding behind the heater since they started chasing him.
And I was more worried about the TSN eating 1 of my little NTT's...Seems the other way around..

I figured the tigers would not bother the TSN too?? Guess I was wrong..

Not suprising at all. The thinking that if it doesn't fit in their mouths it's safe is a myth. Had some torpedoing tankmates. They would either bum rush and extend their mouths and knock them out or just constantly harass.
