UPDATE ON MY FISH

[Big Dempsey]

while i was gone for approx 36 hrs, i had my black shark & my jd seperated in QT tanks so they could heal , as they had tore each other up previously , they both have died .
my salvini apperntly took out both my jags, and my gt ,and my silver dollars .
now i have my 2 O's ,a texas and salvini left and my 6 loaches.
the salvini might have to go now , he's gotten to be highly aggressive ,only i dont want to take him to the lfs. well thats it for now , im pretty bummed

You could always buy a seperate tank just for him.

I think that would be fine by himself. You can find good deals on used tanks on craigs list. I would have a hard time giving up a sal too. I have a firemouth a lone in a 25g because he is super aggressive.

put the sal by himself and you could grow out jags and gts as they get much larger then the sal then put the sal back in. i doubt the sal would mess with the jags and gt when they are double its size

Separate the Os and Tex from the SAL until they weight-up. The SAL will most likely leave the Tex alone if not he will learn to the hard way. I've kept Tex before and they are pretty tough when grown. They don't usually back down from much. The Os are hard to figure. Some are real aggressive, most are calm. But they will grow larger than the SAL.
