Is there any nipping going on? It can be stressful for fish when aggression occurs. Yours may just be playing. Do they make contact or just chase? Is there hiding places in the tank?

you know what, before my red rainbow started to get agressive towards my boemani there is one thing different that i did. i gave my fish a new food: tetra microcrab- cyclopeeze granules. could that have done anything? they seem to love the food!!!
thanks |
