What to do???

Ok I dont know what to do, I have 3 Red Hooks that try and kill each other... Well the smallest of the 3 beats up the other 2 ever since I removed 3 lemon fin barbs, I remove the small one and the other two start going at each other...

Anyone know what I can do, I am at my wits end I thought it would stop by now, its been about a month if not more. I am about ready to get rid of them because they are always going at it and stressing my other fish...

get more redhooks. they fight because you keep too small of a shoal

 

[BushFishRox]

how many more should I get because I will probably have to order them...

Actually, you don't need to get redhooks specifically... Any species of silver dollar should do. My only recommendation is to try and get the new guys to be larger than the trio you are currently keeping. A group of 5 SDs should coexist peacefully for life

ok thanks, so I will try and track down 2-3 large SD's.
