TOO AGGRESSIVE?

he guys, i have 4 serasulmus natteri (red bellies), that grew up in the same tank together since they were the size of a dime. they all grew at different rates, so the dominant one is always taking chuncks outta the others no matter how much i feed them. any suggestions to reduce these incidents? they are ranging from 4" to 2-1/2" now, and are in a 55 gallon tank.

thanks in advance....

A couple of things have happened. Your P wants to be dominant. Your tank is setup so he/she can setup a territory. So in order to fix that you need to rearrange your tank by taking some of your decors out or add more P's. When you rearrange the tank make he/she cannot make an association with an object it mark its territory. . Reds do really well when they are feeling a little tight. They seem not willing to fight each other in a crowed tank. Also by adding another red of equal size the dominant piranha will eventually give up its territory because there are too many challengers.

:laughlong: I love pissing you off about this damn fish. And how come I'm an admin, wouldn't you like to know. By the way I don't hate the fish just don't think its very piranha-looking but then again you already knew that. Its a minnow with teeth, it must be a hybrid :rasp:
