Yeah my two ATF don't fight any more!

[sashimimaster]

I've had to keep my three ATF's separated for over a year now. Every few months I would let the barrier drop and see if anything happened. It would be fine for a few hours then I would notice one would have scales missing or a big slash down the side. Once I even saw a whirlwind of fighting with two of them going at it. So up went the barrier again.

This week I let the barrier down again and it's going on 5 days now and no slashes maybe just a few missing scales. They actually school together and swim together peacefully now. I would say they're at about the 7.5 to 8" mark. Hopefully this will be the last time

One thing that has changed though is the eating habits. The biggest one has somehow gone on a hunger strike. He used to be the most aggressive feeder charging at food whenever it hits the water. He hasn't eaten since the barrier went down. The other one has eaten a few times but still a little timid.

Ok I guess I gotta take some pics. I'm not sure how you show "not fighting" but here they are.

You can see in the second pic there's a little nick. They still charge and nip every once in awhile but nowhere near as severe as it used to be.

My tank is a 150g but actual volume is 135g.

I'm sure you guys realize how difficult it is to take pics of constantly moving fish......

way to stay persistent. ive already given up on multiple atf communties because of fighting.

I actually have a third one but I haven't put them together yet because it's a little smaller and would probably be the low man on the totem pole. Maybe a couple of more months and I'll put them all together.
