Whos the culprit?

[bobVillanueva]

My rtc and 2 tsns are together with my wallago leerii in a pond.

Saw some wounds on my wallago. Who could have given it?:/ my smaller tsn is acting more of a dither fish for the leerii lol but the wallago attacked?! Isnt it supposed to be the other way around?

Where are the wounds ? What kind of wounds ? How big are the fish ?

Spend more time watching the pond and you will figure it out fast. Could be they all just got caught up together in a bunch and it caused a little damage.

My rtc used to swim under my leerii and force him up to the top, i never saw the leerii attack the rtc but in the morning there would be wounds and i had to get rid of the leerii (i tried it in with other fish but after about 5 weeks wounds started to appear on other fish).

I meant the leerii is the one being attacked.

Long wound from past the dorsal to the tail. Its hard to take a pic coz they're in a pond.

Sizes
Rtc 18, tsn 17 leerii 15/16 tsn 14

Sounds like the big RTC is probably trying to eat him.

+1. Always blame the rtc.

IDK. IME TSNs are by far and large more predatory than RTCs but not territorial. In small enclosures, relative to the fish's size, RTCs appear to be unpredictable. Even cigar-shaped TSNs are a bit bulkier than a leerii, whose ~1/2 of the body is slender, eel-like.

Is the pond inside or out - is it protected from any and all kinds of wildlife? Can it be something else other than the tank mates? What are the pond dimensions?
