Ways to Reduce Aggression in a ]v[onster Comm

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
you need to upgrade or get rid of some fish, your overstocked.
 
I'm glad to see this thread's still alive ... I thought it was a goner! :D

So far ... the new ideas for today are not raising the temp and hitting the fish one the head.

I also generally don't run my tank temp too high. Mainly for power and evaporation considerations, but I sometimes up it when adding salt/meds.

Not too sure about hitting the poor little buggers though ... not sure if they would understand.. :grinno:

Madneon ... thanks for the advice, now you may make your way back to the neon tetra forum! :nilly:



















Jokes bro... :D
 
I recently went from an almost bare tank and redecorated completely thinking that it would solve the agression problem between my Oscar and Pacu. The agression has actually gotten worse.

I tried adding a small Red Devil as a distraction, but that hasn't done anything.

The Pacu is going this weekend......
 
I think the more fish the more the aggression is spread out amongst inhabitants.

Considering the fish you have stocked together i reckon you are doing very well! Definitely keep off the feeders as i have trouble introducing new fish unless they are bigger then one of my dominant pbass.

I am going to try some plastic plants but so far my tank is doing great with little aggression - i have 4 x cichla monos, 4 x silver dollars, jardini, 2 x oscars, sailfin and few others.

Keeping the fish well fed also reduces aggression in my experience.

Great thread lets keep it going!

They are very placid. When i first got into the hobby i always wanted oscars, even though i dont fancy them as much now i cant let go of these guys and i think i have a pair with a bit of spawning activity happening.

I have big plans just have to wait for the fish to come around as here in Aus its difficult to attain some fish and even harder to get them at a suitable size. I have a couple of Dats that i am growing but it will be a long time before they go in this tank - if they go in at all!

My Jardini is pretty calm at about 15 - 20cms. How was yours at this stage and how is it now compared to what it was at a younger age?
 
id get rid of like half those fish

LOL ...not gonna happen, butif you wouldn't mind a greenie, you could probably pick up quite a big one for cheap. I bought mine at 50cm for NT1500$ :D

How's your collection coming along?
