Aquarium Advice Regular
so, my partner texts me as i am on my way home from work to tell me that my red tailed black shark has killed my rather beautiful female Siamese fighting fish...
i return home and sure enough, one dead fighter.
having not witnessed it i cant describe the manner in which she died (stress, or otherwise).
i mean, i know that they are aggressive towards their own, but i wasn't aware that red tailed sharks attack other species with such ferocity...
the tank is an uncrowded 85 litre. i have examined the water quality and found it to be normal. i cant think of anything else that would have sparked this aggression. they have lived in harmony for months! lol
watching the shark more closely since i have witnessed him pursue my other female and also my male fighter. has anyone experienced a similar problem?
please, any advice? thanks, all!
