I have a 110 litre tank stocked with various types of Barbs.
One of the Green Barbs has always been the bully of the Tank but mostly they have all got along.
Lately we have noticed some have their tails nipped, one quite badly.
I have a spare smaller tank so we have moved the bitten ones to this to give them a break and a chance to recover.
Previous to this we had taken out the bully barb and put him on his own,we have also changed the decor of the tank around, He seemed to calm down for awhile but soon was back to his usual chasing them.
Our LFS said we could take him back to them,but we are loathe to do so, he is such a good looking fish and we have had him a year now.
We have had fish deaths also and I am not sure if they were to do with this or not( two had ripped up fins,the others just as normal)
What would be the best plan?
I do not really want to have two tanks set up forever, but I also do not want to get rid of the barb if we can help it.
