Default Oscar and Green Terror fighting problems


"william bales" wrote in message
...
I have a 125 with 3 large (8" or so) Oscars and 1 full grown Green Terror
(8") The green terror just beats on the Oscars non stop.There is also a
bloody parrot fish (full grown also) in there that he doesnt mess

with.Just
the Oscars.I took the green terror out and put him in my 55 with another
green terror and a dempsey.He isnt acting up yet but hes only been there

for
about 5 mins.Anyone have any more suggestions on how to make him leave my
Oscars alone?



As they get bigger, and more territorial, more problems arise with mixing
big cichlids. I am always doing the isolation thing as well, for a week or
so, to try and calm the culprit down. Sometimes adding a "mate" will work?
But it may just as well screw up something else too. It's tough work being
god over our little wet kingdoms.
