Hi...
Well i have a 4" RT and a 10" silver arow...and last month my RT was bullying my arow some what bad...to the point of loosing scales...now my arow chases her all over the spot when ever she comes within 10" of him and seen as it is only a 120g thats pritty often (new tank arrives a week today :)) so guys what gives? revenge?:confused: :confused: :confused:
 
it could be revenge and the aro got sick of being bullied. watch them carefully and if it gets to the point, separate them until new tank comes in.
 
Could be the Aro sees the RT as a potiental food source. Once my Silver hit the 10-11" range he became kind of a bully, and show the much the same behavior as yours, but it was directed at most any fish that got close to him.
 
i think once they get bigger u will have no problem at all with them or if any think the red terror will stress ur aro to death from constant nipping. my plan is a jar and red terror of equal size. i had a rd and silver together and they were cool.
 
Thanks guys...my RT is a wimp....my arow lets my severums...loaches and other fish near him...but not my RT...this is what i dont get why just her? no way in hell could the arow eat her...and it is not like she bright colours (yet) im confused :S
