Hi Sarah

Any success with the aggressive fish?


I am using a bed of Java Moss in my aggressive tank.

My most nasty Jack Dempsy (7 - 8 inches) is the boss of the upper part of
the tank where he is free to see everything for the full length (50 gallon
long).

He does not dare go into the weeds where the black convict pair gang up on
him.

I also place terra cotta pots in the tank as spawning caves.

I have loads of light (2 - 4 foot flourescent tubes) and I have to harvest
Java moss every few weeks.

The one drawback is that i have not seen my 10 inch plecostamus in several
weeks.

He hides in the weeds and eats and I only see him when I remove LOTS of
javamoss from the tank.

I will try that. I have never heard of the fish that you have. I am
going
to google it right now to see what they look like. They sound like little
gangsters protecting their turf and showing their colors. lol

Here's something else you can try. Divide your tank into areas by
placing a towering item (I used two rocks) mid tank. I had a problem
with three male Maylandia Greshakei. One Greshakei thought the whole
tank should be his territory. The next time I cleaned the tank I
removed all structures and rearanged, placing two rocks, one about 1/3
and the other about 2/3 along the bottom of the tank. All three now
have taken an area to call their territor. No fight unless one wonders
beyond their "Territor Rock". the best part is that all three now wear
their Dominate Coloring.
