Barb fights

[techo]

Complete newb question, but my my large rosy barb has been attacking/chasing my large neon barb all over the tank. Is this cking to become an issue that the rosy may be becoming too agvressive or could it be a male trying to impress?

How many Rosy Barbs do you have? If it's only those two, then yes you may expect that behavior to just keep going. Barbs do best in schools of 5+ and Barbs in general do establish a hierarchy ... thus fighting / chasing / harassing etc.

I see the same thing with my TigerBarbs.

That must be it, I only have two of each type (rosy and neon)

Yep, I see that a lot with tiger barbs. I would either rehome them or get like 3 more at least. I hope you will be able to keep the aggression levels down! Good luck!
