No, I tried putting him back and he is still mean. He continues harrassing
the oscar, and the pleco and the convict. I have him right now in a 55
gallon tank by himself. I want to make that tank into a sal****er tank. I
am going to have to find him a new home. If anyone knows of someone that
wants a big beautiful, mean green terror in the Fresno/Hanford area of
California let me know. I hate to get rid of him, but if I could find him a
new home I would. I am also going to ask the LFS if they will take him, but
I don't know if they will.

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.
