Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Good evening all! I've come to ask some advice on what to do with a bully. I have 6 tiger barbs and when I bought them, one was noticeable bigger than the rest. He didn't seem to mind leading the pack around and for the first week, they were fine. Now, he is being a big bully. He is always chasing the other 5 around and around the tank. He is relentless and never stops!
Now, I know that these fish are semi-aggressive but I thought that with 6 of them, they would all get along. Any ideas on how I can give him a time out? Or should I just let things be? I'm afraid that he may be stressing the other fish out.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh, and I thought it was funny today, Bruce (my red tail shark) was chasing Mr. Bully around the tank. I didn't catch the beginning of the chase to see what Mr. Bully did so am not sure what that was all about but I did giggle to see the tables turned on the tiger barb.
Thanks!
Jim
