WHY! WHY! WHY!

[rust9000]

Why cant i add any more fish into my 115g?
every time i add a new fish it either gets beaten up or killed.
I have:
10" silver arow
2- 4" uarus
5" green severum
2- 3" oscars
8" jag
6" giant gourami
I tried to add another severum, got beaten up, i tried to add two geos became food, and i tried to add a 6" tin foil barb and that got beaten up, (now in medical tank).
Why is this happening?
is it dominance?
any help would be great.

You have quite a few fish in the one tank.. and they are probably fighting over territory as it is.. so when you add something else... well... I wonder who is the culprit?

It is getting crowded in there, you might try swapping out the jag.

really my tank looks empty

Its getting pretty crowded in there.

Who is doing the beating??

 

[casperbgk]

if u move all the rocks and decorations around it breaks up the territories so new fish get a better chance

just about all of them are aggressive and/or territorial.

DUH.

Why why why add fish??? You have more than enough fish already.They have alot of growing to do.IMO as your fish grow you'll need to be taking some out.
