I need an APB put out on my new Tiger Barb, he's a menace!
I have a 30gal tank that was home to 4 Tiger Barb's, about 1" to 1 1/2" in length. They've been around awhile. So I decide to go get a couple more Tiger Barbs because I really like them. I got 4 new little babies, about 1/2" in length at most and put them in.
Well one of them is an absolute terror. I mean this fish chases everything he see's, including my 4 much much larger than him Barbs! Im afraid he is going to stress out the other little fish and kill them. Its like he needs ritalin or something.
I checked out the water and all is well and all the other fish seem to be acting normal (when they are not being harassed). Is there anything I can do? Is this normal behavior? I know Barbs can be aggressive but to the point of picking on much larger fish?
